Question

Define Food Chain. Explain any one type of food chain with the help of a flow chart.​

Answer 1

#Food Chain:

=>A food chain shows how each living thing gets food, and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with plant-life, and end with animal-life. Some animals eat plants, some animals eat other animals. A simple food chain could start with grass, which is eaten by rabbits.

#One type of Food Chain:

=>Grazing food chain :  This type of food chain starts from the living green plants goes to grazing herbivores, and on to carnivores. Ecosystems with such type of food chain are directly dependent on an influx of solar radiation.

This type of chain thus depends on autotrophic energy capture and the movement of this captured energy to herbivores. Most of the ecosystems in nature follow this type of food chain. The phytoplanktons →zooplanktons →Fish sequence or the grasses →rabbit →Fox sequences are the examples, of grazing food chain.
