Let’s solve each question step by step.
---
LEFT SIDE: FOOD CHAIN
The food chain shown is:
Grass → Grasshopper → Bird → Snake → Owl
Remember: Arrows show who eats whom — energy flows from the eaten to the eater.
Q1. What does the arrow mean in a food chain?
→ The arrow means “is eaten by” or “gives energy to.” For example, grass → grasshopper means the grasshopper eats the grass.
Q2. Name the producer in the food chain.
→ Producers make their own food (like plants). Here, it’s
grass.
Q3. Name the primary consumer in the food chain.
→ Primary consumers eat producers. That’s the
grasshopper.
Q4. Name the secondary consumer in the food chain.
→ Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. That’s the
bird.
Q5. Name the tertiary consumer in the food chain.
→ Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. That’s the
snake.
Q6. Name the apex predator in the food chain.
→ Apex predator has no natural predators here. That’s the
owl.

RIGHT SIDE: FOOD WEB
Food web shows many connected food chains.
Organisms: Green Plants, Deer, Grasshopper, Mouse, Frog, Snake, Eagle
Arrows point from what is eaten to what eats it.
Q1. Name the producer in the food web.
→ Only one producer:
Green Plants
Q2. Name three consumers in the food web.
→ Consumers eat other organisms. Examples: Deer, Grasshopper, Mouse, Frog, Snake, Eagle — pick any three. Let’s say:
Deer, Frog, Eagle
Q3. What does a frog eat?
→ Look at arrows pointing TO the frog. Arrow comes from Grasshopper → so frog eats
grasshopper
Q4. Name the apex predator in the food web.
→ Who is not eaten by anyone? The
eagle — nothing points to it as prey. It’s at the top.
