marine ecosystems are great examples of this here's an example of a lake ecosystem's food chain producer: phytoplankton tiny organisms that photosynthesize primary consumer: very small fish, like sunfish secondary consumer: larger fish, like bass tertiary consumer: fish predators, like a bald eagle or osprey
Food chain can be defined as the the sequence of events in which one organism feed over the other that results in maintenance of ecological balance.
Grassland biome is a good example of food chain that involves producer, a primary consumer ,a secondary consumer , and a tertiary consumer, such as grass or plants are the producers (photosynthetic) which make their own food with the help of sunlight, grasshopper feed over grass, so grasshopper is a primary consumer (Herbivores), mouse eat grasshopper and become secondary consumer (Carnivore) and snake feed over mouse and become tertiary consumer, and snake can be eaten by Hawk, which become Quaternary Consumer. ;
The food chain example includes grass as the producer, grasshopper as the primary consumer, frog as the secondary consumer, and snake as the tertiary consumer. Energy flows from one level to the next, illustrating the interdependence of these organisms. This sequence helps to understand how energy is transferred in an ecosystem.
