Arrange and rewrite the terms in each group in correct order to be in a logical sequence beginning with the term that is underlined:
Snake, Rabbit, CABBAGE, Hawk. (Begin with: Cabbage)
Topic: Food chain
Answer
Cabbage → Rabbit → Snake → Hawk
Every food chain begins with a PRODUCER, and the underlined term confirms it: CABBAGE is the green plant.
Then ask at each step, what eats this? cabbage (producer) is eaten by the rabbit (primary consumer, herbivore) the rabbit is eaten by the snake (secondary consumer) the snake is eaten by the hawk (tertiary consumer)
The arrow means "is eaten by", so it always points in the direction the ENERGY flows.
A useful check: energy is lost at every step — only about 10% passes on — which is why chains rarely exceed four or five links, and why the animals usually get larger and fewer along the chain.
