Understand the concept of a food chain: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
Identify the roles in a food chain: Producers are typically plants or algae that produce energy through photosynthesis. Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
Recognize the correct order of energy flow: Energy flows from producers to primary consumers, then to secondary consumers, and finally to tertiary consumers.
Analyze the given options: Compare each option to the correct order of energy flow in a food chain.
Select the option that matches the correct sequence: Producers → Primary Consumers → Secondary Consumers → Tertiary Consumers.
