Question

1. What is the main source of food of the organisms in the illustration? 2. Write the organisms which feed directly on plants. 3. Mention the second order consumers in the given food web. 4. How many food chains can you construct from the given food web? Write those food chains.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The tree and plant are the main source of food in the illustration.

Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores (or primary consumers). Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores. Carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers, and carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.

Spiders, snakes, and seals are all examples of carnivorous secondary consumers. Omnivores are the other type of secondary consumer. They eat both plant and animal materials for energy. Bears and skunks are examples of omnivorous secondary consumers that both hunt prey and eat plants.

There are two types of food chains: the grazing food chain, beginning with autotrophs, and the detrital food chain, beginning with dead organic matter
