⛓️ Food Chains and Energy Flow
Explore how energy moves through ecosystems! This quiz focuses on understanding food chains, from producers to consumers, and how energy decreases at each level. Learn to read and create food chains using arrow notation, and discover how different habitats support unique food chains. **What you'll learn:** - Define food chains as sequences showing energy flow from producers to consumers - Use arrow notation ($\rightarrow$) to represent food chains - Create simple food chains for different habitats - Explain why energy decreases at each level of a food chain - Distinguish between food chains in different ecosystems
