IV. FILL IN THE BLANK
Complete the short essay “THE FOOD CHAIN” by writing your answer on the blank.
THE FOOD CHAIN

The transfer of food energy from the producers, through a series of organisms with repeated eating and
being eaten, is known as a________________. The green plants utilize the radiant energy of the sun, which is
transformed to chemical form, by synthesizing the complex organic molecules. This process is called
__________________. Green plants absorb a portion of this radiant energy. This is the food energy stored in
plants.

Thus green plants occupy, in any food and become the main_________________ .
________________ hunt, gather, and store food because they cannot make their own food. The last part of a
food chain is the ____________________. These are microorganism that are able to break down large
molecules into smaller parts and return the nutrients to the soil, thus, food chain happens.
