Food chains always start with producers, which are almost always green plants. The other organisms in the food chain are consumers – they all get their energy and biomass by consuming (eating) other organisms.

Most food chains are quite short, and they rarely consist of more than four steps. This is because a lot of energy is lost at each step. After about three steps, very little energy is still available for use by living organisms. This also explains why there are few organisms at the top of food chains, compared with those lower down.
