The correct answer is A. algae → moose → wolf.
Here’s a breakdown of the food web:
1. Algae produce their own food through photosynthesis and serve as the primary producers.
2. Moose consume algae as well as grass, making them primary consumers that eat the producers.
3. Wolves hunt and eat moose, positioning them as secondary consumers.
This sequence correctly shows the energy transfer from producers to primary consumers to secondary consumers. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! For more in-depth assistance, you can also check the extended services page.
