Best Answer

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
