What is an example of a simple food chain?

Answer 1

A food chain can be started off normally when there is primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer and quaternary consumer.

Grassland example.

Grass, Grasshopper, Rat, Snake and Hawk.

Pond example.

Algae, Mosquito larva, Dragonfly larva, Fish and Raccoon.

Ocean example. Phytoplankton, Zoo-plankton, Fish, Seal and Great white shark.

Every organism needs to obtain energy in order to live. For example, plants get energy from the sun, some animals eat plants, and some animals eat other animals.

A food chain is the sequence of who eats who in a biological community to obtain nutrition. A food chain starts with the primary energy source, usually the sun or boiling-hot deep sea vents. The next link in the chain is an organism that make its own food from the primary energy source -- an example is photosynthetic plants that make their own food from sunlight (using a process called photosynthesis) and chemosynthetic bacteria that make their food energy from chemicals in hydrothermal vents,

Food web's.

A food web is a diagram of the links among species in an ecosystem - essentially who eats what. A food chain shows only the organisms that contribute to the diet of the top consumer. You could present your diagram as a food web pyramid.
