Food Chain
food chains are a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy,and a food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.

Food Chain
The catagories are Vegetables, Fruits, Oils, Meats, and Dairy
The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
how is the energy in a food chain different form the energy of the wind?
Detritivores in the soil food chain do not directly get energy, but they play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler forms for decomposition by decomposers. These decomposers then release nutrients back into the soil, which can be utilized by plants for energy production.
Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
