Model: Sunlight → mangrove tree (producer) → crab (consumer) → raccoon (consumer). Arrows represent energy flow only. Matter can move and be reused in the environment, but energy flows one way. Sunlight is the main energy source for most ecosystems. A student says: "Because crabs live in water, the environment provides all the energy the crab needs, not the mangrove tree." Which evaluation best matches the model?
