Please make a food chain... blue jay, bear, fish, mosquito, frog, lizard, pond grass, oak trees, and squirrel,?

i don't know how to make a food chain. by any chance could some one make a food chain with these animals?.... thank you very much...Please make a food chain... blue jay, bear, fish, mosquito, frog, lizard, pond grass, oak trees, and squirrel,?
Usually we start with the sun because it is the primary energy source for plants... and from there on:





Oak Trees----%26gt; Squirrel ----%26gt; Carnivore





Pond Grass---%26gt; Mosquito----%26gt; Frogs and Lizards





Mosquitoes in general are omnivores; it is usually the females that feed on blood as a protein supply to make eggs so the mosquitoes could be feeding on the pond grass. The frogs and lizards may be insectivorous (i.e. they prey on insects) so would then eat the mosquitoes.





Another example of a food chain:





Sun ---%26gt; Savannah grass ---%26gt; Springbok ---%26gt; Lion ----%26gt; Detritivores





The arrows always point in the direction that the energy is going i.e. the Springbok is feeding the lion so the arrow points from the springbok to the lion, not vice versa.





Detritivores are organisms which prey on decomposing meat like vultures, hyena, insects, fungi etc.
