The Food Chain

 Hey guys! today we are going to learn about the food chain! here is some info and an examples:

Producers - a producer is a living thing that makes its own food from sunlight, air, nutrients and minerals, from the soil. Green plants are producers who make food in their leaves. 

Consumers - a consumer is a living thing that cannot make its own food. Consumers eat plants or animals for their food. All animals are consumers. There are different levels of consumers: Primary consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer, also known as apex predator.

Scavengers - a scavenger is a living thing that cannot make its own food. Scavengers feed on dead animals or plants for getting energy.

Decomposers - a decomposer is a living thing that gets energy by breaking down dead plants or animals. Fungi and bacteria are the most common decomposers.

Predator - a predator is an animal that hunts other animals for food. 

Prey - a prey is an animal that is hunted and eaten for food.

Example:

In food chains, we use arrows to mark the flow of energy, from the producer, and finally to the apex of the food chain.

Well, hope you guys learnt something in this post! see you next post, Await my Christmas special!! byeee!
