[1] Organisms that are eaten by other organisms for food is what makes up the predator-prey relationships of food chains. [2] The food chain begins with food producers. Then it goes to plant-eaters as primary consumers, to meat-eaters as secondary/tertiary/quarternary consumers, to everything-eaters. [3] Examples of a water food chain are phytoplankton as producers, zooplankton as plant-eaters, fish as meat-eaters of each other, and sharks as everything-eaters. [4] Examples of a land food chain are plants as producers, insects as plant-eaters, mammals and reptiles and birds as meat-eaters, and bears as everything-eaters.
Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms for their source of food and nutrition
Organisms that depend on the food energy stored in other living organisms are called heterotrophs. These organisms cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms to obtain energy for survival. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
A food chain is a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten. It begins with producers (plants) which are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores), which are then eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores), and so on. Each step in the chain represents a transfer of energy as organisms are consumed.
Food webs show how different organisms in an ecosystem are connected through the transfer of energy as they eat and are eaten by each other. This illustrates the complex relationships and dependencies between species in an ecosystem.
Some example of producers are plants and lichen (organisms that do not need to get their food, they make their own food) one example of consumers are bears (organisms that eat other organisms to get food) one example of decomposer are mushrooms (organisms that get their food by breaking down the nutrients in dead organisms or animal wastes
Because they break dead organisms down into basic chemicals which can then be used by other organisms to grow and build their bodies, which can then be eaten by other organisms, thus continuing the food chain.
It depends.In some food chains, a spider is a predator because it traps its food in webs. It will eat organisms such as flies.In other food chains, Spiders are prey. They will be eaten by organisms such as birds.
Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms for their source of food and nutrition
Consumers, such as herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, transfer food energy through a community by eating other organisms. These consumers are eventually eaten by other organisms, continuing the flow of food energy through the ecosystem.
A food chain.The steps by which energy flows among groups of organisms is called an energy pyramid. The energy pyramid shows what organisms get energy from other organisms and how much they get.

Pass your Plato test first. HAHA but answer is A
it eats the plankton and other small organisms in the water, and gets eaten.
Producers are plants that give us oxygen, and vegetables and fruits. Producers don't eat other producers and organisms, they only get eaten, or used as food by other organisms.
Organisms that secure food by eating other organisms are called consumers. They obtain nutrients by consuming other living organisms.
Organisms that hunt and kill other organisms for food are called predators.
