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 arrows in a food chain show the flow of energy. As an organism is eaten, energy is transferred to the organism that ate it. For example, a food chain shows an arrow pointing from a fish to a hawk. This means that energy is being transferred to the hawk from the fish when the hawk eats the fish.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants that perform photosynthesis are called producers. 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.
