Broadview University West Jordan Energy Flow in Food Chains Discussion

 

I’m trying to study for my Social Science course and I need some help to understand this question.

Description

Explain how the following concepts connect to each other to illustrate what happens to matter and energy in a food chain: Net Primary Productivity, Biomass, Pyramid of Energy Flow, and The Second Law of Thermodynamics. Include a full explanation of why food chains rarely have more than four trophic levels, and why top predators are often the first to go extinct when food chains are disrupted. What are the benefits to humans, wildlife, and entire ecosystems when humans eat at lower trophic levels?
