While watching a nature program on TV about animals in an African savanna, Khloe realized that she was seeing a food chain in action. She saw some zebras eating grass and shrubs, and then she saw cheetahs eating other zebras.

Question

If Khloe were to draw a food chain for the environment on the nature program, to which living thing should the last arrow point?

cheetah

grass

zebra

shrubs

Answer 1

In the food chain that Khloe observed, the last arrow should point to the cheetah.

The food chain can be represented as follows:

1. Grass and shrubs (producers)
2. Zebras (primary consumers, which eat the grass and shrubs)
3. Cheetahs (secondary consumers, which eat the zebras)

Therefore, the last arrow in the food chain would point to the cheetah.
