Food chain (producer to apex predator): Arrange— 1. Frog, 2. Eagle, 3. Grasshopper, 4. Snake, 5. Grass.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 5, 3, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Food chains begin with producers (plants), followed by primary consumers (herbivores), then secondary/tertiary consumers up to apex predators.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Grass = producer.
  • Grasshopper = herbivore (primary consumer).
  • Frog = insectivore (secondary consumer).
  • Snake = predator of frogs (tertiary level).
  • Eagle = apex predator.


Concept / Approach:
Arrange by trophic levels.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Grass (5) → Grasshopper (3) → Frog (1) → Snake (4) → Eagle (2).


Verification / Alternative check:
Matches typical textbook chains.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They start with consumers or misplace apex predator.


Common Pitfalls:
Switching frog and snake.


Final Answer:
5, 3, 1, 4, 2
