Examples of Food Chain

Through the process that occurs with the food chain, there is a loss of energy since consumers are classified as primary and secondary consumers, among others. It is important that there is always a balance in the biological community to avoid a natural disaster in animal life. As you well know, the trophic chain begins through plants since through photosynthesis they can produce organic matter from inorganic using solar energy.

15 Examples of food chain

1. Rabbits feed on plants and herbs, but they are eaten by predators such as cougars, foxes, and other carnivorous animals.
