Question

this diagram shows a food chain from a forest ecosystem in virginia. the arrows show how the matter eaten by organisms moves through the food chain. select each organism below that is prey in this food chain.

Explanation:

In a food chain, prey are the organisms that are eaten by other organisms. Crabgrass is eaten by the field cricket, so it is prey. The field cricket is eaten by the rough green snake, making it prey. The rough green snake is eaten by the black racer, so it is prey. The black racer is eaten by the bald eagle, thus it is prey. The bald eagle is at the top of this food chain and has no predator shown here, so it is not prey.

Answer:

crabgrass, field cricket, rough green snake, black racer
