Which population of organisms would begin the flow of energy through a desert food web? a) coyotes b) cactus finch c) beaded lizards d) mesquite shrubs

Mesquite shrubs

Explanation: In majority of the food webs, plants are the primary source of energy flow as they are the producers. Here also, mesquite shrubs is a kind of plant species which is consumed by cactus finch, which is a species of bird.
