What is a Food 
Chain?
3 
A Food Chain is a linear 
sequence of links in a food web 
starting from species that are 
called producers and ends at 
species that are called 
decomposers.
4 
An Example of a Food Chain
FFoooodd CChhaaiinn 
VVSS 
5 FFoooodd WWeebb
Food Chain follows 
a single path as 
animals eat each 
other 
while 
Food Web shows 
how plants & 
animals are 
interconnected by 
different paths.

Components of a 
Food Chain
9 
Producers 
Are organisms that make their own food from 
a primary source such as sunlight. They are 
often called autotrophs or primary producers. 
They are at the start of a food chain. 
PPrroodduucceerr
10 
Herbivores 
Herbivores or Primary 
Consumers are 
animals that only eat 
plants.
11 
Carnivores 
Carnivores or Secondary Consumers 
are animals that eat meat. 
Carnivores will also eat animals that 
eat plants.
12 
Omnivores 
Omnivores will eat both 
plants and animals. 
People are omnivores.
13 
Tertiary Consumers 
Eat Secondary 
Consumers
14 
Top Predators 
Animals that have little or no 
natural enemies.
15 
Detrivores and Decomposers 
When any organism dies, it is 
eventually eaten by 
detrivores like: 
Vulture 
Worms 
Crab
16 
Detrivores and Decomposers 
When any organism dies, it is 
eventually eaten by 
detrivores like: 
Vulture 
Worms 
Crab
17 
Detrivores and Decomposers 
Organism eaten by detrivores is 
broken down by decomposers 
like bacteria and fungi.
18 
Note: 
When one species goes 
extinct, it can affect an 
entire chain of other species 
and have unpredictable 
consequences.
