As the nutritional energy passes through the food chain, energy.
O a) is gained
b) decreases
c) remains constant
d) increases, then decreases

B. Decreases

Explanation:

In an ideal food chain, nutritional energy from producers (plants) are transfered to other animals at different levels on the food chain. As nutritional level is being passed from one level to another, most of the nutritional energy is lost in the process. Therefore, energy decreases as the nutritional energy passes through the food chain.
