Questions 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 are based on the diagram of the food chain below. Study it and answer the questions. glass \( \rightarrow \) locust \( \rightarrow \) frog \( \rightarrow \) snake 1.1.3 What do the arrows in the food chain above indicate? A Trophic levels. B Who consumes/eats whom. C Flow of energy D A common food chain. (1)

The arrows in the food chain indicate the flow of energy from one organism to another. As you can see, the glass provides sunlight and nutrients to the locust, which then serves as a meal for the frog, and subsequently, the frog is consumed by the snake. So, it's all about how energy is transferred through the levels of this ecosystem! To add some extra flavor, it's fascinating to note how these interactions affect not just individual species, but entire ecosystems. For instance, if locusts become too numerous, frogs might have an ample food supply, but if frogs were to disappear, it could lead to an overpopulation of locusts. It’s like a natural balancing act!
