Question

Explanation:

In a food web, matter is transferred through feeding relationships. The swallowtail caterpillar likely feeds on the persimmon tree (as it is a caterpillar which typically feeds on plants). The pine vole may eat parts of the tree or plant - based matter that was once part of the tree. The black racer could eat the pine vole (which has matter from the tree). The bobcat could eat the gray fox or black racer (which have matter from lower - level consumers that may have matter from the tree). The parasol fungus may decompose plant matter (including from the persimmon tree).

Answer:

pine vole, swallowtail caterpillar, bobcat, parasol fungus, black racer
