Food chain:

• In a food web, a food chain is a set of linkages that extends directly from producer organisms to an apex predator, detritivore, or decomposer species.
• A food chain also shows the relationship between organisms as shown by the items they eat.
• Several trophic levels are represented by the levels of a food chain.
• A food chain illustrates how nutrients and energy move through an ecosystem.
• The most basic producers of energy are plants, and higher-level organisms like herbivores subsequently use that energy.
• When the carnivores consume the herbivores, energy is subsequently passed from one to the next.

Primary consumer:

• Primary consumers make up the second trophic level.
• They are also known as herbivores.
• Only primary producers like plants or algae are eaten by them.
• The Everglades grasshopper serves as an example of a major consumer.

Secondary consumer:

• Small predators that frequently eat herbivores are secondary consumers. Think about frogs.
• Large carnivores known as tertiary consumers consume secondary consumers in particular. Think about birds.
