What is a food chain?A food chain is “a sequence of
organisms, each of which uses the next, lower member of the sequence as a food source1”

What is a producer?An organism that creates it’s own food
through photosynthesis
What can you think of that might be the most common energy source for all producers?
The SUN

Important facts about food chainsIn a food chain, each organism
obtains energy from the one at the level below.
Plants are called producers because they create their own food through photosynthesis
Animals are consumers because they cannot create their own food, they must eat (consume) plants or other animals to get the energy they need.

Primary ProducersPrimary producers are
“organisms capable of producing their own food”
We can also say that they are photosynthetic, use light energy.
Examples of primary producers include algae, phytoplankton, and large plants.
Primary producers are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores)

Four types of consumerHerbivores: animals that eat only plants
Carnivores: animals that eat only other animals
Omnivores: animals that eat animals and plants
Detritivores: Animals that eat dead materials and organic wastes (aka decomposers)

Other Ways to Classify Consumers
1. Primary Consumers: Herbivores
2. Secondary Consumers: Carnivores that eat herbivores
3. Tertiary Consumers: Carnivores that eat other carnivores
