Food waste Food Chain Food web Food cycle 13 / 15 How is energy transferred from one organism to another? When one organism eats another When producers eat consumers When producers do photosynthesis When consumers do photosynthesis 14 / 15 Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Producers are limited by consumers. Energy is lost at each trophic level. Carnivores are too large to be eaten.
