• It shows the order in which organisms are fed upon by other.

Answer 1

It shows the number of each organism eaten by another.

Explanation:

A food chain shows the feeding relationship and the order in which organisms feed on each other, typically starting from plants (producers), forming the basis, but it does not show the exact number of each organism eaten by another. Food chains focus on “who eats whom” rather than numerical quantities of consumption.
