What is the terrestrial food chain?

What is the terrestrial food chain?

The terrestrial food chain is a sequence of organisms where each is eaten by the next in the chain, starting from producers.

Can you explain the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers?

Sure! Producers, like plants, create energy through photosynthesis. Consumers eat producers or other consumers, and decomposers break down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil.

What are some examples of each type of organism?

Examples of producers include grass and trees. Primary consumers are herbivores like rabbits, while secondary consumers can be carnivores like foxes. Decomposers include fungi and bacteria.

How does energy flow through the food chain?

Energy flows from producers to consumers and then to decomposers. Each level loses some energy as heat, so less energy is available at higher levels.
