    This document defines food chains and food webs. A food chain is a defined sequence of interactions between producers, consumers, and decomposers. A food web is an ecosystem made up of interconnected food chains on various levels. The components of food chains and webs include producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), tertiary consumers (omnivores/carnivores), apex consumers (scavengers/carnivores), and decomposers (microbes). Each level in a food chain is called a trophic level, with fewer organisms at higher levels, forming a pyramid of energy.

    Food chain
     DEFINITION : Definite sequence of interactions between
    producers,consumers and saprophytes is known as food chain
    FOOD WEB
     DEFINITION = An ecosystem which consists of many food
    chains that are interconnected at various levels is known
    as food web
    Components of food web and food
    chain
     PRODUCERS(Plants)
     PRIMARY CONSUMERS(Herbivores)
     SECONDARY CONSUMERS(Carnivores)
     TERTIARY CONSUMERS(Omnivores/Carnivores)
     APEX CONSUMERS(Scavengers/Carnivores)
     DECOMPOSERS(Microbes)
    Trophic level
     DEFINITION = Each level in the food chains called a trophic
    level. A trophic level is level is the step at which the organisms
    obtains its food in the chain
     The number of organisms also decreases from the lowest level to
    the highest level.This pattern of energy exchange in an ecosystem
    is called a “PYRAMID OF ENERGY”
