Answer:

As you know, plants use sunlight for energy. Plants use this energy to synthesize more complex molecules like sugars from basic building blocks like water and carbon dioxide. That added energy from the sun can actually be measured if you have an EXTREMELY sensitive scale because it even adds a bit of mass to the plants, in the form of the chemical bonds that make up these more complex molecules.

From there, it's relatively straightforward. Herbivores eat those plants, and some of those previous complex molecules get broken down or simply passed on by the herbivore's system and used to build and maintain their bodily tissues and activity. Carnivores essentially just do the same thing, the only difference being that they ingest animal cells, including (and especially) herbivores, instead of plant cells.

Answer: The food chain begins with the sun: through photosynthetic processes, plants turn sunlight into energy, which is then used as fuel by herbivores. Sunlight travels from the sun to the plant, then to the herbivore, then to the carnivore, who then eats it.

Explanation:
Significance of food chain are as follows:

  • The food chain starts with the sun: plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthetic processes, and herbivores eat those plants to obtain energy. The sunlight is transferred from the sun to the plant to the herbivore to the carnivore, which is then consumed by the carnivores. Therefore, if the sun stopped shining in this habitat, plants would not be able to turn sunlight into energy, mice would die, leaving the hawks without food, and the vultures would not be able to feast on the leftovers.
  • Producers, like grass, use the sun's light energy during the process of photosynthesis to create food (stored sugar and starches). Consumers must eat other organisms because they are unable to produce their own sustenance. We can trace the origin of practically any animal's diet back to plants and the sun. In food webs, where some animals eat plants for nourishment and other animals eat the animals that eat plants, organisms are related.
  • Some organisms, such as fungi and bacteria, act as "decomposers" by dissolving dead organisms (including both plants and animal parts and plants). Some materials are eventually restored (recycled) to the soil by decomposition. Only settings that meet their specific needs allow for the continued existence of an organism.
