Here are the answers to your questions based on typical food web dynamics:
Question 1: Which of the following organisms is a producer in this food web?
Response: Leaves
Producers are typically plants or plant-like organisms that photosynthesize, so "leaves" (part of plants) would be the correct choice.
Question 2: Which organism feeds on the largest variety of organisms in the food web?
Response: Hawk
Hawks are often apex predators and tend to have a broader diet, which usually includes various rodents, birds, and other smaller animals, thus feeding on a larger variety of organisms compared to other options.
Question 3: Which of the following is not a food chain contained within the food web?
Response: Flower > Mouse > Snake > Hawk
This chain does not logically connect because flowers are not typically consumed by mice. Mice usually consume seeds, grains, or other plants (like leaves) rather than flowers directly.
