- 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.

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.

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 ).
Learn how food chains and food webs represent the flow of energy and matter in ecosystems. Explore the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels.
Oct 19, 2023 · Learn what a food chain is and how it describes who eats whom in the wild. Explore the different trophic levels of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and see examples of food chains in various habitats.
Jun 15, 2023 · A food chain is a group of organisms that are consumed in a linear order, passing nutrients and energy along the way. Each organism in a food chain is at a particular trophic level, which is determined by how many energy transfers distance it from the chain’s primary energy source.
