All living things depend on each other to live. The food chain shows how some animals eat other animals to survive. While being food for animals higher in the food chain, these animals may eat other animals or plants to survive. The food chain is a complex balance of life. If one animals source of food disappears, such as from over fishing or hunting, many other animals in the food chain are impacted and may die. Let's look at two examples of food chains, one in the water and the other on land.
In the SeaAll sea creatures rely on other sea creatures for food to survive. At the bottom of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton. Many types of fish and animals such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton.
The small animals and fish who eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackeral.
These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin.
And who eats the shark? Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don't be surprised if you find shark on the menu.
On LandThe food chain on land is just as complex as in the sea. Small animals eat plants or bugs. Larger animals then eat them, with even larger animals eating them. Who is at the top of the food chain? That's us! We humans eat many of the plants and animals on earth. That's why we rely so heavily on all plants and animals for our existance. A break in the food chain can impact everyone.
Here is a simple example of a food chain in the wild.
No. Producers are at the bottom of the food chain.
The bottom of the food chain is the plant or the producer.
it is a food chain that is on land for example lollies are part of the land food chain but fish aren't part of the land food chain they are part of the aquatic 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.
food chain on land
the organisms in the bottom of the food chain are usually producers.
In the ocean, plankton is at the bottom of the food chain. On land, tiny invertebrates .
bottom
There is no food chain for land animals on Antarctica, because there are no land animals that live there.
Plants are usually at the bottom of the food chain. The thing at the bottom of the food chain has to be able to make its own food, if it ate anything it would no longer be at the bottom of the food chain. Plants make their own food from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. i agree and would just like to add the sun isn't the bottem of the food chain
Well it all depends on what animals are in your food chain
They are not at the top of the food chain they are very close to the bottom.
