How did Glucose enter the food chain?
Plants (and some protists and bacteria) take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make glucose through photosynthesis. They are then eaten by other organisms that break down the glucose for energy and carbon building blocks. Glucose is only in the food chain when the producer is eaten. The energy and matter is then passed on from the consumer in other chemical forms as they are eaten.
