The arrows in those food chains and food webs show where the energy goes to. The producer is the first in any transfer. Like in the food chain, the producer is grass. The consumer is the rabbit. From that, the rabbit gets energy from the grass. There is a second consumer, that is a fox. The fox gets the energy from both the rabbit and the grass, just by eating the rabbit. Then there is a decomposer.
