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: -It shows how energy and nutrients are transferred from plants (producers) to herbivores and carnivores and through to decomposers. All food chains start with a producer. The arrows in the food chain below depict the direction in which energy and nutrients flow, i.e. the arrow always points from the eaten to the eater.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose, and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.
