Let's break down the information provided and answer each question step by step. ### 9.1 Diagrammatic Representation of a Food Web To create a food web based on the information given, we can identify the relationships between the organisms mentioned: 1. **Producers**: Green vegetation (plants) 2. **Primary Consumers**: Hares, rats, mice, aphids (these feed on plants) 3. **Secondary Consumers**: Ladybirds (feed on aphids), locusts (feed on plants), shrikes (feed on ladybirds and locusts) 4. **Tertiary Consumers**: Hawks, owls (feed on rats, mice, and possibly shrikes) 5. **Decomposers**: Not explicitly mentioned, but they are implied to be present in the ecosystem. The food web can be represented as follows: ``` Green Vegetation | ------------------- | | Hares Aphids | | Shrikes Ladybirds | | Hawks, Owls Locusts ``` ### 9.2 What is the primary source of all energy? The primary source of all energy in this food web is **sunlight**, which is utilized by the green vegetation (plants) through the process of photosynthesis. ### 9.3 Name FIVE primary consumers in this food web. The five primary consumers in this food web are: 1. Hares 2. Rats 3. Mice 4. Aphids 5. Locusts ### 9.4 Name FIVE secondary consumers in this food web. The five secondary consumers in this food web are: 1. Ladybirds (feed on aphids) 2. Locusts (feed on plants) 3. Shrikes (feed on ladybirds and locusts) 4. Hawks (feed on rats and mice) 5. Owls (feed on rats and mice) ### 9.5 Name ONE tertiary consumer in this food web. One tertiary consumer in this food web is the **hawk**. This breakdown provides a clear understanding of the relationships and roles of each organism in the food web.
