    A food chain is a network of organisms that transfer nutrients and energy as they eat each other, with each occupying a different trophic level based on how many energy transfers separate it from the primary producer. There are multiple levels in a food chain, including primary consumers that feed on producers, secondary consumers that feed on primary consumers, tertiary consumers that feed on secondary consumers, and decomposers that break down dead organic material. An example food chain shows producers being eaten by primary consumers, then secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and an apex predator at the top of the chain.

    What are food chains?
     A food chain is a network of organisms being eaten by one another
    by creating a chain and transferring nutrients and energy (specifically
    10%).
     In a food chain, each organism occupies a different trophic level,
    defined by how many energy transfers separate it from the basic input
    of the chain.
     The four levels in this food chain are primary consumers, secondary
    consumers, tertiary consumers, and finally decomposers or
    phytoremediators.
    The levels of food chain
     There are many levels in food chains which help simplify the process

     Primary consumers- They are the very first type of consumer which
    feed on the producer
     Secondary consumers- These type of consumers feed on the primary
    consumer
     Tertiary consumer- They are the ones who eat secondary consumers
     Decomposers- This is an organism that breaks down dead organic
    material in a food chain.
     Apex- This is a predator that exists at the very top of the food chain
