To solve the problem, we need to arrange the animals and plants in each food chain in the correct order. A food chain shows the flow of energy from one organism to another, starting with a producer (usually a plant) and ending with a top predator.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
1)
-
Images: Lion, Leaves (Plant), Deer
-
Explanation:
- Plants (leaves) are producers that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
- Deer are herbivores that eat plants.
- Lions are carnivores that prey on deer.
-
Correct Order:
\[
\text{Leaves} \rightarrow \text{Deer} \rightarrow \text{Lion}
\]
####
2)
-
Images: Grasshopper, Eagle, Grass, Frog
-
Explanation:
- Grass is a producer that provides energy for herbivores.
- Grasshoppers are herbivores that eat grass.
- Frogs are predators that eat grasshoppers.
- Eagles are top predators that eat frogs.
-
Correct Order:
\[
\text{Grass} \rightarrow \text{Grasshopper} \rightarrow \text{Frog} \rightarrow \text{Eagle}
\]
####
3)
-
Images: Owl, Wheat, Mouse, Snake
-
Explanation:
- Wheat is a producer that provides energy for herbivores.
- Mice are herbivores that eat wheat.
- Snakes are carnivores that eat mice.
- Owls are top predators that eat snakes.
-
Correct Order:
\[
\text{Wheat} \rightarrow \text{Mouse} \rightarrow \text{Snake} \rightarrow \text{Owl}
\]
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{l}
1) \text{Leaves} \rightarrow \text{Deer} \rightarrow \text{Lion} \\
2) \text{Grass} \rightarrow \text{Grasshopper} \rightarrow \text{Frog} \rightarrow \text{Eagle} \\
3) \text{Wheat} \rightarrow \text{Mouse} \rightarrow \text{Snake} \rightarrow \text{Owl}
\end{array}
}
\]
