1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.

Make a food chain with a producer and 3 consumers?

In a food chain, there are four crucial members. There are the primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers. An example of a food chain can be found in a stream found in a forest. The primary producers would be plant like producers such as algae that produce food energy for the primary consumers which would be small microorganisms, or very small fish. The secondary consumers such as salmon will feed on these primary consumers for food. The tertiary consumers such as bears will feed on the secondary consumers for their food.
