I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but there are the types of organisms:

The producer- usually a plant that produces energy through photosynthesis, creating food for omnivores and herbivores.

The consumer- the consumer's role in the ecosystem is to eat the producers (in a food chain, a consumer that eats the producer would be the primary consumer, whatever eats the primary consumer is the secondary consumer, and so on)(Hint: the 'top' or 'territiary' consumer is the animal that is not prey to any other consumer)

The decomposer- bacteria or fungi that breaks down dead organisms, often called the 'natural recyclers'

What is the lowest level of living things in a food chain?

The lowest level of living things in a food chain are typically producers, such as plants or algae. These organisms are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain by converting energy from sunlight into organic molecules.


What non living things are in the food chain?

Non-living things in the food chain, also known as abiotic factors, include sunlight, water, temperature, and nutrients in the soil. These elements provide the foundation for the food chain by supporting the growth and survival of plants, which are then consumed by other organisms in the ecosystem.


A series of food energy steps from plants to animals to other animals in a community of living things Food relationships show where organisms get their food each membr on the chain feeds on the prec?

The food chain is a series of food energy steps from plants to animals in a community of living things. An example of a food chain is grass draws energy from the sun, a rabbit eats the grass, and a hawk eats the rabbit.


What kind of living thing is at the start of a food chain?

The organisms at the beginning of the food chain are called producers or autotrophs, such as plants and algae. Some make their own food using the sun's energy through photosynthesis and some producers use chemosynthesis to make their own food.Above them would be 1st level consumers, then 2nd level consumers and so on.


Would there be a food chain if there were only two living components?

Yes. One component would have to feed on another. More than likely this would be an animal feeding off of a plant, as plants are the only living components that can extract energy from the sun to produce food. Without plants, no living components would survive.

The ultimate source of energy for living things is and why?

The ultimate source for living thins is the sun. This is because the sun provides things on the absolute bottom of the food chain with food. They are then used as food for the next living thing on the food chain. Things on the bottom of the food chain are called producers. They perform photosynthesis to convert the suns light into useable energy. Organisms the can create their own food are called autotrophs.

What is a living thing that does not follow anything?

The power of the principle of extrapolation is all that can provide the Answer. All living things follow sustenance. Life higher on the Food-Chain follows food-stuffs lower down that same chain. So, to extrapolate, the only living things that do not follow anything are those at the rock bottom of the Food-Chain: indeed they ARE THE ONLY ORGANISMS TO HAVE SUSTENANCE BROUGHT TO THEM.
