Question

Choose the correct sequence.

• A. Phytoplankton$\to$ Zooplankton$\to$ Crustacean$\to$ Fish
• B. Crustacean$\to$ Fish$\to$ Zooplankton$\to$ Phytoplankton
• C. Zooplankton$\to$ Phytoplankton$\to$ Crustacean$\to$ Fish
• D. Fish$\to$ Crustacean$\to$ Zooplankton$\to$ Phytoplankton

Answer 1

The correct option is A Phytoplankton$\to$ Zooplankton$\to$ Crustacean$\to$ Fish

A food chain is series of plants/animals which are interrelated in the form of organism being eaten as food by the other. In aquatic food chain, phytoplankton are primary producers which produce their own food. These are eaten by zooplankton. They are herbivores. These are further eaten by crustacean. They are carnivores. These are then eaten by large fish.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Phytoplankton→ Zooplankton→ Crustacean→ Fish.'
