The video explains food chains, highlighting the flow of energy from the sun to producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers. It emphasizes the sun as the primary energy source and describes the roles of producers, such as plants, in photosynthesis. The video illustrates energy transfer through arrows and discusses the roles of primary consumers like mice, secondary consumers like snakes, and tertiary consumers like hawks. It briefly mentions decomposers and energy recycling, and concludes with a note on trophic levels.

What is the role of primary consumers in a food chain?

• They decompose dead organisms

• They consume producers

• Hawk

• Mouse

• Grass

What is the role of secondary consumers in a food chain?

• They consume primary consumers

• They produce energy from the sun

• They are not part of the food chain

• They decompose organic matter

Which animal is considered a tertiary consumer in the given example?

• Snake

• Mouse

• Grass

• Hawk
