an organism that obtains energy from food is called a consumer. If an organism is able to manufacture its own food from other energy sources e.g. plants from light, oxygen and water, it is called a producer.

List a 12 organism food chain?
Producer - usually a green plant that produces its own food by photosynthesisFirst-order Consumer - the organism that eats the producerSecond-order Consumer - the organism that eats or derives nutrients from the first-order consumerHerbivore - a plant eaterCarnivore - an organism that obtains nutrients from the blood or flesh of an animalOmnivore - an organism which eats both plant and animal matterScavenger - an consumer that eats dead animals (e.g. crab)Detritivore - a consumer that obtains its nutrients from detritusDecomposer - an organism such as bacteria and fungi that breaks down dead organisms and their wastesTrophic Level - A trophic level is each level in a food chain. Matter is always 'lost' as heat energy at each trophic level.Basal Energy Requirement (B.E.R.) - the amount of energy used by an organism's body just to keep alive, when no food is being digested and no muscular work is being doneFood Web - a network of interrelated food chains in a given area
How does energy flow in the food chains?
Energy flows from one organism to another.One organism eats other organism and energy is transferred.
Explain how energy is transferred through a food chain?
Energy is transferred through a food chain when an organism eats another organism. As the food chain progresses, less energy is available when an organism is consumed.
How does energy flow through food chains in the rock pool?
Energy and nutrients are passed from organism to organism, through the food chain as one organism, eats another.
