1. Billy is stranded on an island. He has unlimited access to water, six chickens, and a few bags of corn. He is considering his options for how to survive on the island until he is rescued. Draw a model of the food web and the trophic pyramid on the island for each of these three options. Option A: Feed all the corn to the chickens and eat their eggs. Trophic Pyramid Food Web Option B: Share the corn with the chickens. Eat their eggs, then eat the chickens when the corn runs out. Food Web Trophic Pyramid Option C: Eat the chickens first, then eat the corn. Food Web Trophic Pyramid
