L.O: LEARN WHAT FOOD
CHAINS ARE
INTRODUCTION TO FOOD CHAINS
• All living things need food for survival.
• A food chain shows how plants, animals and humans rely on
each other for food.
ANIMALS AND PLANTS ARE LINKED BY FOOD
CHAINS
Animals get energy and nutrients by eating other animals or plants.
For example
• caterpillars eat leaves
• mice eat caterpillars
• owls eat mice
LINKS BETWEEN FOOD CHAINS
These links between animals and plants are called food chains.
The arrow means 'is eaten by'.
Nearly all food chains start with a green plant.
Most animals and plants are part of more than one food chain.
HOW AN ANIMALS EXTINCTION AFFECT
OTHER IN THE FOOD CHAIN
If one part of a food chain alters, the whole food chain is affected. For
example, if a disease suddenly wiped out caterpillars, it would affect
mice, owls and many other animals.
CONSUMERS
Animals are called consumers because they eat other plants and
animals.
PRODUCERS
Plants are called producers because they make their own food. They
are at the start of a food chain.
Plants get their energy from the Sun.
PREY AND PREDATORS
A predator is an animal that eats other animals.
The animals that predators eat are called prey.
Predators are found at the end of a food chain.
