Energy transfer in a food chain and food web occurs through the consumption and
digestion of organic matter by one organism and its subsequent utilization by
another organism. This transfer follows the basic principles of the laws of
thermodynamics.

 Producers: These are organisms that produce their own food through
photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. They are typically plants, algae, and
some types of bacteria.
 Primary Consumers (Herbivores): These are organisms that consume
producers for energy. They are usually herbivores, which feed directly on
plants or algae. Examples include deer, rabbits, cows, and grasshoppers.
 Secondary Consumers (Carnivores and Omnivores): These are organisms
that feed on primary consumers. They can be carnivores (meat-eaters),
omnivores (consumers of both plants and animals), or even scavengers.
Examples include lions, wolves, snakes, and some species of birds.
 Tertiary Consumers (Top Predators): These are organisms that feed on
secondary consumers. They are often at the top of the food chain and have
few or no natural predators. Examples include large predators like apex
predators such as sharks, eagles, and humans.

5. The role of producer(grass) is the one who give food to the food web it is the
main source of all food in the food web. Removing it will cause big abruption in
food web. Primary consumers (grasshopper and rabbit) are the only organisms
that are able to "harvest" the energy stored in producers. Without the primary
consumers there would be no source of energy for carnivores or secondary
consumers so no secondary consumers would exist in that ecosystem. The
Secondary consumers (Snake) If there are not enough secondary consumers, then
tertiary consumers face starvation (or worse—extinction) because they would no
longer have a food supply. If there are too many secondary consumers, then they
will eat more and more primary consumers until they are on the brink of
extinction. The Tertiary consumer (Eagle) a tertiary consumer (a predator that eats
primary and secondary consumers) is removed from a food chain, that chain can
easily fall out of balance. The populations of primary and secondary consumers as
well as producers can rise or fall dramatically without the control provided by
tertiary consumers.

7. My insight about the energy transfer is without the energy the consumer will
basically extinct in their habitat because the energy is their source of surviving the
environment.
