Food chains

A food chain shows the different organisms that live in a habitat, and what eats what.

Producers and consumers

A food chain always starts with a producer, which is an organism that makes its own food. This is usually a green plant, because plants make their own food. (A process called photosynthesis)

A food chain ends with a consumer, which is an animal that eats a plant or other animal.

A consumer that eats plants is called a herbivore

A consumer that eats other animals is called a carnivore

An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals

Predators and prey

A predator is an animal that eats other animals

The prey is the animal that gets eaten by the predator

A food chain in Biology refers to a sequence of organisms in an ecosystem, each of which serves as a source of food for the next. It illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients through different levels of consumers, from producers (such as plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) and on to secondary and tertiary consumers. Each link in the food chain represents a transfer of energy from one organism to another.
