Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
