Food Chain
Food Chain
Food Chain: For an ecosystem to work there has to be a flow of energy within it. The organisms of the ecosystem need energy in the form of food. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. A series of organisms through which food energy flows in an ecosystem is called a food chain. It may also be defined as follows. A food chain in an ecosystem is a series of organisms in which each organism feeds on the one below it in the series.
In a forest ecosystem, grass is eaten by a deer, which in turn is eaten by a tiger. The grass, deer and tiger form a food chain. In this food chain, energy flows from the grass (producer) to the deer (primary consumer) to the tiger (secondary consumer).
In a freshwater aquatic ecosystem like a pond, the organisms in the food chain include algae, small animals, insects and their larvae, small fish, big fish and a fish-eating bird or animal. A food chain always begins with producers. Herbivores (plant-eaters) come next in the chain. They are consumed by carnivores (flesh-eaters). A few food chains can be long and may extend to the fourth, fifth or even sixth order of consumers.

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
