food chain, in ecology, the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism. Food chains intertwine locally into a food web because most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.

19 de oct. de 2023 · The food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing—from one-celled algae to giant blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus)—needs food to survive. Each food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can follow through the ecosystem. For example, grass produces its own food from sunlight. A rabbit eats the grass.
17 de feb. de 2023 · A food chain refers to a linear sequence of organisms showing how energy or nutrient flows through an ecosystem when one organism consumes another for its survival. It provides information about which species eats which other species in nature.
A food chain refers to the order of events in an ecosystem, where one living organism eats another organism, and later that organism is consumed by another larger organism. The flow of nutrients and energy from one organism to another at different trophic levels forms a food chain.
26 de jun. de 2019 · A food chain shows energy pathways in ecosystems. Each ecosystem on the planet has food chains of organisms ranging from producers to consumers. The producers are on the lowest level of the food chain, while the consumers that eat those producers are called primary consumers.
A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically ending at an apex predator (such as grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivore (such as earthworms and woodlice), or decomposer (such as fungi or bacteria).
Discover what a food chain is and learn how animals and plants get their energy. Find out what the producer is in the food chain in this KS2 guide.
