Question

Write a common food chain of a pond ecosystem.$\mathrm{Phytoplankton}\to \mathrm{zooplankton}\to \mathrm{small}\mathrm{fish}\to \mathrm{large}\mathrm{fish}\to \mathrm{birds}$

Answer 1

Pond ecosystem:

1. A pond ecosystem is a type of aquatic ecosystem where living organisms live in freshwater.
2. Stagnant water is present in the pond ecosystem.
3. It consists of various organisms that include dragonflies, fish, birds, algae, and other microscopic organisms.

The food chain of a pond ecosystem:

1. In an ecosystem, the flow of energy is unidirectional in a food chain and the primary source of energy is the sun.
2. The producers (phytoplankton) like green plants trap energy from the sun and converted it into food.
3. Then the primary consumer(zooplankton) eats the producers and then 10 percent of energy is passed to the consumer.
4. Primary consumers ate by tertiary consumers and the food chain continues.

$\mathrm{Phytoplankton}\to \mathrm{zooplankton}\to \mathrm{small}\mathrm{fish}\to \mathrm{large}\mathrm{fish}\to \mathrm{birds}$
