उत्तर
(a) Green plants → Rabbit → Fox → Lion
(b) (i) The rabbit is the herbivore and (ii) the fox and the lion are the two carnivores in the food chain.
(c) The fox is both a predator of the rabbit and a prey of the lion.
(d) (i) The rabbit forms the second trophic level, and (ii) the fox forms the third trophic level.
(e) The lion can feed on both the rabbit and the fox independently. Hence, it can feed on animals in both the second and third trophic levels.
(f) The energy available at the trophic level of the fox is 0.1 J.
Sun → Green plants → Rabbit → Fox → Lion
