First of all, the food chain would not exist as the planet would be destroyed, or at least no longer function and become one huge piece of floating rock in space.
But, hypothetically, if the sun all of a sudden vanished and the planet was still fine, the food chain would start to lose links as 1)the plants would not be able to photosynthesize and therefore would not replenish themselves after they run out of stored energy, 2) herbivores would have less and less to feed on, quickly having nothing to feed on, and die off, and 3) the carnivores at the top of the food chain would survive a little longer than the rest as they would live off other dying species and each other. Chemosynthetic based food chains would be fine; only food chains with photosynthetic organisms would be affected on the short run. On the long run bacteria and other organisms that depend on the remains of organisms would die off as there are no more animals to die.

What do all food chains start with?
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.
All food chains must start with what?
All food chains must start with a producer, which is an organism that can make its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This producer is usually a plant or algae that converts energy from the sun into food energy for other organisms to consume in the food chain.
What do food chains start with?
Food chains start with producers, such as plants, algae, or photosynthetic bacteria that produce their own food through photosynthesis. These producers form the base of the food chain by converting energy from the sun into organic compounds that can be consumed by other organisms.
Name the energy source that starts heat travels as light and provides energy for all of earths food chains?
The sun is the energy source that provides heat and light for all of Earth's food chains through the process of photosynthesis. Solar energy is converted into chemical energy by plants, which is then transferred through the food chain to sustain life on Earth.
Where does a food chains flow of energy start?
A food chain's flow of energy starts with the primary producers, such as plants or algae, that convert sunlight into food through photosynthesis. These producers are then consumed by primary consumers, such as herbivores, which are in turn eaten by secondary and tertiary consumers. This transfer of energy continues through the different trophic levels in the ecosystem.
Are microorganisms important in food chains?
No, all food chains must start with a producer that harvests energy from the sun, and distributes it throughout the ecosystem.
What do all food chains start with?
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.
Why is the sun so important to food chains?
this is because plants the only autotrophs on earth (meaning the only ones who can prepare there own food) prepare their food by a process called photosynthesis for which sunlight is an important component and as we know all living beings directly or indirect depend on plants for their food thus sun is very important for the food chain
On a prairie the food chains start with the sun which produce food during?
the day
What is the primary energy source of all food chains and food webs?
It is the sun.
Why are food chains imortant?
Food chains are vital for life everywhere. Most food chains normally start with a green plant. However, the sun is the reason for the plants growing, but then I am moving on to photosynthisis
What is the original source of energy for all animals in the food web?
the sun is the beginning of all food chains
Are insects important in food chains?
Yes
Why do all food chains start with the sun?
Because the sun grows plants and plants feed animals and animals continue the food chain.
Do all food chains need the sun?
Yes. It is neccessary for the base of every food chain.
Are food chains and food webs are different?
food chains: eagle_rabbit_carrot_rain or sun eagle eagle rabbits fish carrots seaweed water hawk_small birds_worm_dirt human_bear_fish_smaller fish or plants
What is a type of organism that starts all food chains is a?
Producers always or the sun!
