Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $DFC$ (Detritus Food Chain) begins with dead organic matter (detritus),not solar energy. In contrast,the $GFC$ (Grazing Food Chain) begins with producers that capture solar energy. Therefore,the statement that $DFC$ starts with solar energy is incorrect. $DFC$ is often connected to $GFC$ at some levels,and it relies on detritivores for the decomposition of organic matter. It is the primary pathway for energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems.
