A food chain always ends with a consumer.
It always starts with a producer.
You need the producer to make the food. You can't have a food chain without food.
You need the consumer to make it a chain. If nobody eats the producer, then it isn't a food chain, it's just a lucky plant.

Is a consumer always at the bottom of the food chain?
The consumer is always at the top, or end of the food chain. Producers are at the bottom, or beginning of the food chain.
What does a food chain always start out with and end up with?
with plants
Why is there usually no more than four or five stages in a food chain?
There cannot be too many links in a food chain. Food chains always begin with a plant and end with an animal. If there are more than 4 or 5 links in the chain , there will not be enough food for the animals at the end of the chain.
Why are the producers always the start of the food chain?
If you have a food chain then the chain must have a beginning (where the food is made) and an end (where the food is finally all used up). Thius in a food chain the "producers" of the food (the plants) are ALWAYS the start. The plants make food using CO2 from the air, Water from the ground and the energy they collect from Sunlight. It is the passing on of this energy from the Sun that is the chain.
What does a food food chain or food web start with?

Where is the pelican on the food chain?

What is frequently represented in a food chain?
a producer, which is a plant which is always at the beginning of the food chain.
In any food chain the total amount of energy always?
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
What is always at the beginning of the food chain?
A producer is at the beginning of every food chain. Usually it is a green plant, which can use the energy in sunlight to produce food. That food supports all the other organisms. There is no food chain until food is produced.
