Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Death of an organism is the beginning of the detritus food chain/web. |
| 2. | In an aquatic ecosystem, the detritus food chain (DFC) is the major conduit for energy flow. |
| 3. | In a terrestrial ecosystem, a much larger fraction of energy flows through the detritus food chain than through the grazing food chain (GFC). |
| 4. | Detritus food chain may be connected with the grazing food chain at some levels. |
