A diagram illustrates that grass is eaten by insects, birds, and mice. The insects are eaten by hawks, snakes, and toads. The birds and mice are eaten by foxes, hawks, and snakes. The toad is also eaten by the snake. Which best describes the diagram? pyramid food chain grid food web trophic level
Answers
The correct answer is the food web.
A food cycle or food web refers to a natural association of food chains and a graphical demonstration of what consumes what in an ecological community. Consumer-resource system is another term for food web.
A food web comprises of trophic levels and positions. The basal species, like the plants, form the initial trophic level, the basal species can be detritivores or autotrophs.
The top level has apex predators that no other species kills directly as its food source, and the intermediate levels are occupied with omnivores, which feed on more than one trophic level and results in the flow of energy via a number of food passages beginning from a basal species.
Solution:
The given diagram bests depicts the pyramid.
The trophic level of each organism is clearly specified and is moving downward in a systematic order.
Pyramid food chain is the one in which level of each organism is clearly defined.
Grass is in the autotrophic level, other organisms come into the next stage and so on.
