There is a loss of energy at each trophic level, such that insufficient energy can be gained by animals at the "top" end of longer food chains/webs.

Which organisms is most likely to be found at the beginning of a food chain?

Every food chain necessarily begins with an organism that doesn't eat any other organism (if it did eat another organism, it would not be the beginning of the food chain) which is technically known as an autotroph. We are generally familiar with organisms that conduct photosynthesis, although that is not the only kind of autotroph; there are also bacteria which metabolize minerals coming from underwater vents, which live symbiotically in vent worms.
