Question

Explain a food chain that exists in nature with the help of an example.

Answer 1

Food chain refers to the sequence of events in an ecosystem, where one organism eats another and then is eaten by another organism. It starts with the primary source like the sun or hydrothermal vents where producers make food, continues with consumers or animals who eat the food, and ends with the top predator.
Example:

1. grass-insect-frog-mouse-snake-hawk-mushroom

• the insects eats the grass
• the frog eats the insect
• the mouse eats the frog
• the snake eats the mouse
• the hawk eats the snake
• the mushroom comes in as a decomposer when the hawk dies
