Detailed explanation-1: -The arrows on a food chain indicate where energy is being passed. For example, an arrow pointing from some grass to a zebra means the grass gives energy to the zebra (when the zebra eats the grass). The arrows on a food chain indicate where energy is being passed.It also specifies the direction of the flow of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arrows on a food chain, or food web, represent the flow of energy. The placement of the arrows in a food chain or food web is very important. The arrows always show the direction of the energy as it is transferred from one organism to another. The flow of energy can also be represented within an energy pyramid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The energy stored in the plants through photosynthesis is transferred to herbivores that feed on the plants. From herbivores, energy is transferred to carnivores that feed on them. So the direction of the flow of energy is from the sun to the carnivores.
