Answer 2

If so, think about how much energy is actually transferred from one organism to the next. If you don't know-google it. The answer will help you come to a conclusion.

Answer 3

@hlilly2413 I don't think you mean "...organisms have the most energy..." and instead mean, which organisms are most efficient at metabolic energy conservation. I have way more energy in me than a single-cell algae, but it is still way better off in terms of utilizing input energy for efficient use.
