1. Here are three food chains:• A grass rabbit fox• B wheat field mouse fox• C wheat field mouse grass snake1 Sketch a pyramid of numbers for food chain A.2 Use all three food chains to draw a food web.3 Name one producer in the food web. 4 Name a primary consumer. 5 Name a secondary consumer. a If the field mice died, what would happen to the
number of grass snakes?b Why would this happen?c If the field mice died, what might happen to the
