Answer 1

It would be C because the plants are eaten by the squirrels, the snake eats the squirrel, and then the snake does and decomposes. The rest of the answers are in the wrong order.

Answer 2

c. Plants > Squirrel > Snake > Mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow the arrows, it starts off with plants, goes to squirrel/grasshopper, then to snake/wolf/hawk, & then to mushroom & all over again. Hope this is right :)
