A food chain always ends with a consumer.
It always starts with a producer.
You need the producer to make the food. You can't have a food chain without food.
You need the consumer to make it a chain. If nobody eats the producer, then it isn't a food chain, it's just a lucky plant.
The consumer is always at the top, or end of the food chain. Producers are at the bottom, or beginning of the food chain.
with plants
If you have a food chain then the chain must have a beginning (where the food is made) and an end (where the food is finally all used up). Thius in a food chain the "producers" of the food (the plants) are ALWAYS the start. The plants make food using CO2 from the air, Water from the ground and the energy they collect from Sunlight. It is the passing on of this energy from the Sun that is the chain.
A plant is always a producer in the food chain
It fall at the end of the chain.
a producer, which is a plant which is always at the beginning of the food chain.
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
The producers is always found at the base of a food chain, but food webs can start from any species and end at any species, so, there is no "bases" at the food web. The producers are basically those which can produce food by its own. A common example would be plants
A producer is at the beginning of every food chain. Usually it is a green plant, which can use the energy in sunlight to produce food. That food supports all the other organisms. There is no food chain until food is produced.
Yes, prey typically occupies the bottom of the food chain or web, serving as a food source for predators higher up. Ultimately, prey can be considered at the end of the food chain in terms of being consumed by predators.
a food chain always starts with a producer. a nonliving thing
