There are many different food chains, so there are many second links, but in general the second link in a food chain is two words and it is a primary consumer.
Oxygen serves as an electron acceptor. When food is completely metabolised in the organism, it is decomposed to electrons, protons and CO2. The electrons are carried by NADH to mitochondria, to electron-transport chain. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen receives electrons, thus providing for maximal yield of energy carried by those electrons (in the electron-transport chain, they are used for pumping protons across the mitochondrial membrane, thus proton gradient which empowers ATPase, is maintained). At last, the ATPase enzyme produces ATP, the usable form of energy.

Bacteria is in the last step on a food chain because is a decomposer!!
The organism at the lowest end of the food chain is the producer, although it is rarely an animal.The organism at the highest end of the food chain is, depending on the number of organisms in said food chain, is a tertiary, secondary, or primary consumer.Next Answer:I always assumed that was what "apex predator" meant.

Technically, us!
== == The Decomposer always comes last because when the animal dies the decomposer decomposes it. A normal food chain would be something like: sun energy> grass> cow> human> decomposing bacteria The decomposer/detritus feeder always breaks down waste (being excrement or dead matter) in an ecosystem so that buildup won't be a problem.
The first thing in the food chain is clled the producer, the second is called the primary consumer, the third thing is called the secondary consumer. The last thing in the food chain is called the prey.
its closed to last
when the last two things eat each other
Because of their small size, insects cant really defend themselves that much. Therefore, making them second to last on the food chain.
