Question

Starting from the sun, create a food chain including at least three organisms. Explain how energy is transferred through the chain.

Answer 1

Food chain is the process of of eaten and being eaten which involves the flow of energy.

What is the 10% law of energy transfer?

As per to this rule, the 10% of transfer of energy is transmitted from one trophic level to the next trophic level.

The rest of the energy is lost during transfer of energy and during respiration. The first trophic level has the maximum energy.

Thus, Sun-plants-grasshopper-snake-egale, show the flow of energy.

Answer 2

Answer: Sun -> Grass -> Grasshopper -> Sparrow

Sun provides energy through photosynthesis for the grass to grow.

The grasshopper eats the grass and obtains energy from it.

The sparrow eats the grasshopper and obtains energy from it.

Energy is transferred through the chain through the process of consumption. Each organism in the food chain obtains energy by consuming the organism below it in the chain. The sun is the primary source of energy, and it is transferred through the chain through the process of photosynthesis in plants, then through the process of consumption in animals.
