$1,000,000 Question
Draw or write the food chain that would represent the following scenario:
A mouse eats the oats in a farmer’s barn, and the cat eats the mouse.
![Page 32: Food Chain The path of energy from the sun to the producers to a series of consumers](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dc85503460f94abd9f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The sun provides energy to the oats – the oats provide energy to the mouse – the
mouse provides energy to the cat
