Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a food chain: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
Identify the roles within a food chain: Producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers are key roles.
Define producers: Producers, such as plants and algae, create their own food through photosynthesis and serve as the base of the food chain.
Define primary consumers: Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers.
Define secondary consumers: Secondary consumers are typically carnivores that eat primary consumers, thus occupying a higher trophic level in the food chain.
