Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the following words in a logical and meaningful order (in terms of food chain). 5. Eagle
Grass 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Grasshopper 2, 3, 4, 5, 1
Frog 3, 4, 5, 2, 1
Snake 2, 4, 3, 1, 5
Grass 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Identify the primary producer (base of the food chain) and the apex predator (top of the food chain).
Identify the primary producer (base of the food chain) and the apex predator (top of the food chain).
Analyze the given entities
The entities are 1. Grass, 2. Grasshopper, 3. Frog, 4. Snake, 5. Eagle.
Establish the trophic level hierarchy
In a standard terrestrial food chain, energy flows from 1 (Grass/Producer) тЖТ 2 (Grasshopper/Primary Consumer) тЖТ 3 (Frog/Secondary Consumer) тЖТ 4 (Snake/Tertiary Consumer) тЖТ 5 (Eagle/Apex Predator).
Sequence Verification
The order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 directly represents the energy flow in this ecological pyramid.
Option B is wrong as it starts with a consumer; Option C is wrong as it starts with a predator; Option D is wrong as it places the apex predator in the middle of the chain.
A is correct because the sequence follows the natural biological food chain order from the producer (Grass) to the apex predator (Eagle).
In food chain questions, always identify the producer first (plants/grass) and work upwards to the apex predator.
