What is a producer in a food chain?

• An organism that eats other organisms

• An organism that decomposes dead matter

• An organism that lives in water

• An organism that produces its own food

Give an example of a producer in a food chain.

• lion

• rock

• sun

• plant

What is a consumer in a food chain?

• An organism that produces energy in a food chain

• An organism that breaks down dead organisms in a food chain

• An organism that regulates the food chain

• An organism that feeds on other organisms in a food chain to obtain energy.

Provide an example of a primary consumer in a food chain.

• Grasshopper

• Oak tree

• Lion

• Rabbit

Explain the role of decomposers in a food chain.

• Decomposers are responsible for producing energy in the food chain.

• Decomposers play a crucial role in recycling nutrients by breaking down dead organisms and waste materials.

• Decomposers are only found in aquatic ecosystems.

• Decomposers help in the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Identify the producer in the following food chain: Grass -> Rabbit -> Fox

• Watermelon

• Tree

• Carrot

• Grass

Which organism is the consumer in the food chain: Grass -> Rabbit -> Fox?

• Rabbit

• Tree

• Fox

• Grass

Name a secondary consumer in a food chain.

• Fox

• Rabbit

• Bear

• Grasshopper

Why are producers essential in a food chain?

• Producers are not involved in the food chain

• Producers consume energy from other organisms

• Producers do not play a role in the ecosystem

• Producers convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

Describe the difference between a herbivore and a carnivore in a food chain.

• Herbivores and carnivores are both at the top of the food chain.

• The difference between a herbivore and a carnivore in a food chain is that herbivores consume plants as their primary food source, whereas carnivores consume other animals.

• Herbivores and carnivores both consume plants as their primary food source.

• Herbivores and carnivores have similar eating habits.
