Concept Anchor

Incisors cut, canines tear, molars grind. Food goes: mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine. In a food chain, the arrow means 'is eaten by'.

Worked example

grass → rabbit → fox

  1. 1.Grass is eaten by the rabbit.
  2. 2.The rabbit is eaten by the fox.
  3. 3.The fox hunts, so it is the predator. The rabbit is its prey.
