Actually the food chain starts with a producer. The producer makes its own food during the process called photosynthesis. In which it gets its energy from the Sunlight. This is one reason why we sometimes say that a food chain starts with the Sun.
Sunlight----> (falls on) Plant----> (plant carries out photosynthesis to make food)----> (plant fresh and green!!)
Sunlight--> Plant--> Caterpillar--> Bird--> Cat--> Decomposers.
The sun
yes
The sun is the very first thing on a food chain.
All food chains start with producers, such as plants or algae, that are able to create their own food through photosynthesis. These producers are the base of the food chain and support all other organisms in the ecosystem.
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.
producer
sun, grass, plant, trees, leaves, proboscis monkey
The food chain begins with the sun. The flow of energy for everything on Earth begins with the sun. Sun - Producer - Consumer - Decomposer
The sun energizes the producer to produce food.
a producer is something that uses the sun for there food and other animals eat them (ps proudcers always start at the begining of the food chain) :))))))))))))

Because when you eat you get energy and a food chain tells you which animal eats what
