Double points: correctly label every item in the food chain
algae - producer
zooplankton - primary consumer
small fishes - secondary consumer
squid - tertiary consumer
shark - apex predator

Penguins in region CHAMPA originally had short beaks. Their primary food, clams, evolved to have thicker shells. The penguins with the shortest beaks could not reach their food in the clams. Over time, the penguins evolved to have longer beaks as that allow them to reach food. What is this process called?
coevolution
