Question

What is a food chain? Explain with an example.​

Answer 1

The definition of a food chain is a system where a small animal is the food for a larger animal which, in turn, is the food for an even larger animal. An example of food chain is a fly being eaten by a frog and then the frog is eaten by a larger animal.

Answer 2

• The series of transfers of materials and energy in the form of food from one creature to the next is referred to as the food chain in ecology.
• Because most species feed more than one type of animal or plant, food chains intersect locally to form a food web.
• The major food source is photosynthesis, which converts sun energy into food.
• A flesh-eating animal consumes a plant-eating animal in a predatory chain.
• A tiny creature consumes part of a bigger host and may be parasitized by even smaller species in a parasite chain.
• Microorganisms feed on dead organic substances in a saprophytic cycle.
