What is a food chain?
|
A food chain is the series of steps by which energy passes through the environment when animals feed on plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and start the chain. They are eaten by herbivores such as snails. Carnivores, including birds, eat the snails and are themselves eaten by predators such as foxes. | | A typical woodland food chain |
