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.
