with producers (plants) and moves up through different levels of consumers (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores) and decomposers (fungi, bacteria).
Example of a Simple Food Chain
🌱 Grass → 🐇 Rabbit → 🦊 Fox → 🦅 Eagle
Producers: Plants (grass, trees, algae) make their own food through photosynthesis.
Primary Consumers: Herbivores (rabbits, deer, insects) eat plants.
Secondary Consumers: Carnivores/Omnivores (foxes, birds) eat herbivores.
Tertiary Consumers: Top predators (eagles, sharks, lions) eat smaller carnivores.
Decomposers: Bacteria & fungi break down dead organisms, recycling nutrients.

What would happen if all the producers (plants) in an ecosystem disappeared?
If the rabbit population suddenly increased, how would it affect the rest of the food chain?
Why are decomposers essential in maintaining balance in an ecosystem?
If a new predator, like a wolf, is introduced into this food chain, how might it change the balance?
Can a single organism belong to more than one trophic level? Why or why not?
What would happen to the fox population if the eagle population decreased?
If a disease wiped out all the rabbits, which organisms in this food chain would be most affected?
Why are top predators like eagles fewer in number compared to herbivores like rabbits?
If humans started hunting foxes in large numbers, how would it impact the ecosystem?
How does energy transfer from one level to another, and why does the amount of energy decrease at higher levels?
What is the difference between a food web,food chain and a food chain for humans?
