The answers to the following questions are as follows:

Answer 1:

  • The main source of food for the organisms are the plants or producers.
  • Each food chain starts with a producer.
  • Plants are producers.
  • They manufacture their own food, which provides them with energy to grow, reproduce, and live.

  • An herbivore is an organism that mostly consumes plants.
  • Herbivores range in size from microscopic insects like aphids to massive elephants.
  • Herbivores are an important element of the food web, which describes which creatures feed other animals in the wild.
  • Herbivores are the primary eaters of plants.
  • Primary consumers include caterpillars, insects, grasshoppers, termites, and hummingbirds, who exclusively eat autotrophs (plants).

  • Carnivorous secondary consumers include spiders, snakes, and seals.
  • The other form of the secondary consumer is the omnivore.
  • For energy, they consume both plant and animal resources.
  • Bears and skunks are examples of omnivorous secondary eaters, who hunt animals as well as consume vegetation.

Answer 4:

  • There can be 5 different food chains that can be constructed from the given food web.
  • Food chain 1: Plants - Giraffe - Lion
  • Food chain 2: Plants - Rhinoceros - Lion
  • Food chain 3: Plants - Grasshopper - Bird - Snake - Eagle
  • Food chain 4: Plants - Rat - Fox - Snake - Eagle
