Food Chains
All living things need food. It gives them
energy as well as substances they need to
build up their body.
The sun is the starting point of every food
chain.
Plants are found in the beginning of every
food chain.

Plants are found at the beginning of every
food chain. They are called producers
because they produce food for every
other creature.
Energy is lost as it passes along the food
chain. This happens because every
organism uses up most of the energy in
order to survive and grow.

Food chains show the feeding
relationships between organisms.
Plants start every food chain by getting
carbon dioxide and water and
converting them into sugar with the help
of the sun.
Animals then eat the plants and each
other so that the energy can be
transferred.

Definitions…
Herbivores: animals that feed only on vegetation.
Examples: Sheep, goat, rabbit.
Carnivores: Animals that feed only on flesh.
Examples: Lion, tiger.
Omnivores: animals that feed both on flesh and vegetation.
Example: Humans.

Food Chains Summary
Food chains show which organisms eat other
organisms

Producers - organisms which can make
their own energy from carbon dioxide
and water using sunlight for energy
(plants)
Primary consumer - organisms which eat
producers (herbivores)
Secondary consumers - organisms which
eat primary consumers (carnivores)
Tertiary consumers - organisms which eat
secondary consumers (carnivores)

Each level of a
food chain is
known as a
trophic level
Food chains
always start with a
producer.
Producers are
always in the first
trophic level.

What is the difference between
food chains and food webs?
Food chains are very simple ways of explaining how creatures feed on each other in order to survive.
In actual life, we can understand that food chains are not very realistic because creatures never feed on just ONE other creature.
Instead they feed on many different creatures feeding on them.
![Page 22: Food Chains and Food Webs - Integrated Science · 2019-09-20 · Food chains show the feeding relationships between organisms. Plants start every food chain by getting carbon dioxide](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042300/5ecb9cfd84e91e576e4269db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A snake might feed on a frog, or a rabbit.
In turn, the snake might be fed on by an
owl and in some cases even by a human.
At the same time, there are other
creatures involved in the same web and
all of these affect each other.

Questions
1. What will happen to the number of clown fish if the sharks become vegetarian?
2. What effect will this have on the number of zooplankton?
3. What will happen to the Blue Regal fish if a disease wipes out the small invertebrates.

Foxes are predators because they hunt
rabbits and eat them. The rabbits are
their prey. In the 1950s a disease called
myxomatosis killed many of the rabbits
in the countryside.Describe two
effects of this disease on the food chain.
Why do you think that more foxes were seen in towns after that time?

A large number of deer once lived
on the Kaibab plateau north of the
Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. In
1907 their predators,
wolves, coyotes and
pumas, were killed to
protect the deer.
What do you think
happened?
