The food (or feed) that is digested by the animal is broken down by enzymes and converted into small molecules comprising of protein (amino acids), CHOs (energy), fats, and vitamins/minerals which get sent down the blood stream and is "fed" into the many cells that are in the animal's body to work and make the animal function normally like it does. Cells can grow tired and not work efficiently and smoothly if there was no energy from food available. Eventually the energy that the cells use to help the animal function is used up, and the energy that these cells need to keep the animal going come from within the body: first fat, then muscle, then the brain tissue. By the time the body starts to metabolize energy from the brain tissue the animal is very close to death. This is what happens to the body when it becomes starved. In order to avoid this, the animal has to keep eating to keep energy reserves stable and keep itself from going into starvation (which eventually leads to death).

The arrows in a food web represent the flow of energy through the web, further along the arrows/web means that less energy is moving along. The energy flows through arrow to the next consumer, the energy moving through the arrows have less and less energy as the web moves on. In other words it to put it in (much) simpler terms, the thing its pointing to eats the other>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the arrow mean the energy in the food>>>>>>>>>>>>.
