Question

Food chain which is also known as false food chain

Answer 1

Saprophytic or parasitic food chain is also called false food chain.

Answer 2

Answer:

Saprophytes

Explanation:

A food chain normally starts with a producer which means an organism that makes food (plants).

Saprophytes are the organisms that acquire nutrients directly from dead and decayed organic matters.

Their food chain starts from herbivores but food energy passes from larger to smaller organism without outright killing as in case of the predator food chain. Hence, the larger animals are considered to be the hosts and the smaller animals which fulfill their nutritional requirements from the hosts are considered as parasites.

This food chain is directly opposite to the normal food chain in which smaller organisms are acquired by larger organisms for nutrition.

Hence the saprophytic or parasitic food chain is known as the false food chain.
