The Importance of Food Chains
Everything in the world requires energy! Walking down the street, riding
your bicycle and learning in school all take energy.
We get this energy through eating, or consuming, plants or animals as food.
Think about how you feel after you've eaten. You feel better because your
body has taken in energy!
Because every plant or animal does this, chains of these creatures are
formed. These chains are called food chains. Food chains are pictures of
how creatures get their energy.
Food chains can be small, with just tiny animals and plants. They can also be
large with five or six larger creatures.
Because food chains can be so large and animals may eat many different
other animals, there may sometimes be a series of these chains. Large food
chains that are connected to one another are called food webs. Below is an
example of a food web.
A link in a food chain is always food for the next creature in the chain. Food
chains always begin with a plant and end with an animal.
Plants are producers because they use energy from the Sun to produce
food.
Animals are consumers because they cannot make their own food. Instead
they eat plants or other animals for energy.
There are three types of consumers.
1. Animals that only eat plants are herbivores.
2. Animals that eat other animals are carnivores.
3. Animals who eat animals and plants are called omnivores.
There are also decomposers that eat dead animals.
