Food chain explained - Free biology lessons

This video explains the basics of food chain in the environment. A food chain is a sequence of organisms through which energy and nutrients move as they are consumed and excreted. The number of steps in a food chain varies from two to a few. In the simplest case, there are only two steps: one organism (the producer) produces food for another (the consumer). In biology, a food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species, detritivores and decomposers. A food chain also demonstrates how organisms are related to one another by the food they consume. A food web is a more complicated system than a food chain, with many different species interacting with each other in a variety of ways. Food webs are discussed below. What is the definition for food chain? A food chain is a linear sequence that begins with a green plant and represents the flow of energy from one living organism to the next. It shows the flow of energy from one living organism to other. Food chain is a pathway of organisms in which each member gets its energy from the previous one. Each member is eaten by another and so on. 🔬Read more about food chains 🧬Follow our science blog 🌍Support the channel on patreon 💜Follow on Instagram @scienceaplus_global 👍Like on Facebook Copyright Information Images , Videos and Music used in video are CC0 licensed clips.
