Question

4. Compare and contrast the roles of plants and animals int he flow of energy in the living world. Give an example of a food chain

Answer 1

Plants are autotrophs, or producers, and animals are heterotrophs, or consumers. An example of a food chain starts with a plant, which is eaten by a herbivore (e.g., a cricket), which is eaten by a carnivore or secondary consumer, for example a mouse, which is eaten by another carnivore, or tertiary consumer, for example a snake, which is eaten by another carnivore, or quaternary consumer, for example a hawk or eage.
