Lesson Worksheet: Food Chains Science

In this worksheet, we will practice defining and identifying the main parts of a food chain that are linked together to form a habitat’s food web.

Q1:

Look carefully at the food web shown. Plants are called producers as they produce the food which starts all food chains.

Where do all living things get their energy from?

  • AThe Sun
  • BPlants
  • CInsects
  • DBirds

Q2:

What is the source of all energy in a food chain?

  • AThe producer
  • BThe consumer
  • CThe predator
  • DThe sun

Q3:

Name the producer in this food web.

  • AThe mouse
  • BThe snake
  • CThe eagle
  • DThe plant

Q4:

Fungi do not produce their own food. They consume dead plants and animals.

How would they be classified in an ecosystem?

Fungi-Mushroom
  • AConsumers
  • BDecomposers
  • CProducers

Q5:

Worms are decomposers. What role do decomposers play in ecosystems?

  • ADecomposers produce food using energy from the Sun.
  • BDecomposers consume living animals.
  • CDecomposers help put nutrients back into the soil.

Q6:

Fill in the blank: Animals that eat other animals are called secondary consumers or .

Cheetah hunting springbuck
  • Aherbivores
  • Bdecomposers
  • Ccarnivores

Q7:

Organisms in an ecosystem depend on each other for survival. Diagrams called food webs (or chains) are used to show these dependent relationships.

How do food chains begin?

  • AWith an animal
  • BWith a plant

Q8:

Name the two producers in the food web shown.

  • AZooplankton and phytoplankton
  • BFish and crab
  • CPhytoplankton and seaweed
  • DBlue whale and leopard seal

Q9:

Which organisms produce their own food using energy from the Sun? Use the diagram to help.

  • AEagles
  • BSnakes
  • CMice
  • DPlants

Q10:

Plants use energy from the sun to produce food. Where does the mouse get its energy from?

  • AThe snake
  • BThe Sun
  • CThe eagle
  • DThe plant
