eaten for food is called
a food chain
c. Food variety
b. Flow way
d. Food cycle​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. food chain

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at an apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species. A food chain also shows how organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. Each level of a food chain represents a different trophic level.

Answer 2

A series of organisms linked together by the process of eating and being eaten for food is called food chain (option a).

• A food chain shows a link between how a living organism is connected as the source of food for the other organism.
• The basic food chain is shown below:

Plants or Producers → Herbivores (Primary consumers) → Carnivores/                    Omnivores (Secondary consumers) → Decomposers

• The food chain starts at the most basic level, with plants obtaining nutrition by creating food with sunshine energy.
• Then there are herbivores, which get their energy from consuming vegetation.
• Carnivores and Omnivores both consume the meat of other animals as a source of nutrition.
• Decomposers get their nutrition from the dead materials of such living creatures.
• As a result, the food chain depicts the flow of nutrition/energy from simple to complex living beings in order to maintain ecosystem homeostasis.
