Page-2 of Food Chain

The food chain illustrates the flow of energy in an ecosystem. It begins with producers, such as plants, which convert sunlight into energy. Herbivores consume these plants, while carnivores prey on herbivores. Decomposers break down dead organisms, returning nutrients to the soil. Each link in the chain is vital for maintaining ecological balance. Disruptions can lead to significant environmental consequences.
