Download Solution PDFFood chain:
- A food chain shows the feeding relationship between different organisms in a particular environment and/or habitat.
- A food chain shows how energy is passed from the sun to producers, from producers to consumers, and from consumers to decomposes such as fungi.
- They also show how animals depend on other organisms for food.
Key Points
Tropic level:
- Based on the source of their nutrition or food, organisms occupy a specific place in the food chain that is known as their trophic level.
- Producers belong to the first trophic level, herbivores (primary consumer) to the second and carnivores (secondary consumer) to the third.
- The important point to note is that the amount of energy decreases at successive trophic levels.
- Every food chain starts with producers at the base tropic level and tertiary consumers at the top of the tropic level.

| Tropic Level (from top to bottom) | Description | Example |
| Tertiary Consumers |
| Tiger, vulture etc. |
| Secondary consumers |
| Small birds, wolves, snakes, frog etc. |
| Primary Consumer |
| Cow, deer, grasshoppers, small insects etc. |
| Primary producers |
| Plants, grass, trees, algae, phytoplankton. |
Important Points
- Humans are both primary and secondary consumers.
- Humans are essentially carnivores.
- They feed directly on producers likes vegetables becoming the primary consumers.
- Humans also feed on primary consumers like chicken and goats thereby becoming the secondary consumers.
Thus, in a food chain, humans are both primary and secondary consumers.
