Key Stage 3
: A '''food chain''' always begins with a [[producer]] which is a creature that makes its own food, like [[plant]].
: A '''food chain''' usually ends with a [[Top Carnivore|top carnivore]] which is not eaten by other [[carnivore]]s.
: The arrows in a '''food chain''' always point from the food to the animal that eats it.
: The [[producer]] in a '''food chain''' is always eaten by a [[consumer]].
: With each [[consumer]] the total energy gets smaller. When the primary consumer eats the producer it does not get all the energy because the producer used some of that energy in respiration. When the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer it does not get all the energy because the primary consumer used that energy for movement, it lost some energy in respiration and parts of its body cannot be digested by the secondary consumer.
