🔍 Understanding the Task

We are given a set of ocean organisms and need to arrange them in the correct order of a food chain, starting from the Sun at the bottom (source of energy) and moving up to the top predator.

The food chain shows how energy flows from one organism to another:
- Producers → Primary consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers → Top predator

---

🐟 Organisms Provided:

1. Sea Weeds – These are producers (plants that make their own food using sunlight).
2. Shrimp-like creatures – These are primary consumers (eat plants like sea weeds).
3. Mackerel – A fish that eats shrimp-like creatures → secondary consumer.
4. Tuna – Eats mackerel → tertiary consumer.
5. Large shark – Top predator that eats tuna → apex predator.

---

✔ Correct Order of the Ocean Food Chain:

Starting from the Sun, the energy flow is:

1. Sun →
2. Sea Weeds (use sunlight for photosynthesis) →
3. Shrimp-like creatures (eat sea weeds) →
4. Mackerel (eat shrimp) →
5. Tuna (eat mackerel) →
6. Large shark (eats tuna)

🧩 How to Fill in the Worksheet

From bottom to top, paste the images in this order:

1. Sea Weeds
2. Shrimp-like creatures
3. Mackerel
4. Tuna
5. Large shark

> The arrows point upward, showing the direction of energy flow: each organism gets energy from the one below it.

📌 Final Answer (from bottom to top):

| Box | Organism |
|-----|--------|
| 1st (bottom) | Sea Weeds |
| 2nd | Shrimp-like creatures |
| 3rd | Mackerel |
| 4th | Tuna |
| 5th (top) | Large shark |

✔ This completes the ocean food chain correctly!
