Explanation: 

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food energy flows from one organism to another. Arrows are used to show the feeding relationship between the animals. The arrow points from the organism being eaten to the organism that eats it. For example, an arrow from a plant to a grasshopper shows that the grasshopper eats the leaves.
