Arrows direct where energy goes from living organism to living organism, as people commonly realize that the "pointy end" of an arrow is where something ends up - and the opposite end is where something begins.

What shows who eats whom in an ecosystem?

A food chain or food web is used to illustrate the relationships between different organisms in an ecosystem and show who eats whom. It typically starts with producers (plants), followed by primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and sometimes tertiary consumers (top carnivores). The arrows in a food chain or web indicate the flow of energy as one organism is consumed by another.


The algae at the beginning of the food chain?

a food chain always starts with a green plant and the arrows show which way the energy travels. e.g- oak tree- catterpilar- blue tit but also, if you properly did a food chain it would start with the sun.


Why is a komodo dragon food chain not a food chain?

A Komodo dragon is a predator at the top of its food chain, so it is not considered a food chain in itself. A food chain is a linear flow of energy from one organism to another, showing the transfer of nutrients through various levels of a community. The Komodo dragon would be a part of a food chain as a predator preying on various lower-level organisms for its food.


Why are arrows always drawn from the prey towards the predator?

Arrows are often drawn from the prey to the predator to visually represent the direction of energy transfer in a food chain or food web. This illustrates the flow of energy, indicating that the predator consumes the prey. This convention helps clarify the relationships between organisms, showcasing which species are reliant on others for sustenance. Additionally, it emphasizes the predator's role as the consumer in these ecological interactions.
