Imagine a small forest ecosystem, with the system classified into producers, consumers, and decomposers. The producers are plants that use sunlight to synthesize food, the consumers are herbivores and carnivores that depend on plants and other animals for food, and the decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter. How would a sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight affect the energy flow and transformation within this ecosystem?

A sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight would only affect the decomposers in the ecosystem, leaving the producers and consumers unaffected.

A sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight would increase the energy flow and transformation within a forest ecosystem, leading to an increase in biodiversity.

A sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight would only affect the producers in the ecosystem, leaving the consumers and decomposers unaffected.

A sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight would have no significant impact on the energy flow and transformation within a forest ecosystem.

A sudden, prolonged absence of sunlight would disrupt the energy flow and transformation within a forest ecosystem, affecting all types of organisms and potentially leading to a decrease in biodiversity.
