Question

Give one example of a grazing food-chain identifying the various levels.

Answer 1

There are two types of food chain, grazing food chain and detritus food chain.

1. In a grazing food chain, the first level starts with plants as producers and ends with carnivores as consumers at last level, with the herbivores being at the intermediate level. A capture initiated by grazing detritus food chain is based on autographs energy capture initiated by grazing animals and involves the decomposition or breaking down of organic wastes and death matter derived from the grazing food chain.
   For example: plant- beetle- paddy stalk-frog-snake-hawk.
2. A detritus food-chain is based on autotrophs energy capture initiated by grazing animals and involves the decomposition or breaking down of organic wastes and dead matter derived from the grazing food-chain.
