FOOD CHAIN IN ECOSYSTEMS

The food chain consists of three groups:

1) PRODUCERS
2) CONSUMERS
3) DECOMPOSERS



PRODUCERS

They make their own food (Plants and algae).

CONSUMERS

There are three types of consumers:

1) HERBIVORES:  they only eat plants.

2) CARNIVORES: they only eat meat.

3) OMNIVORES: they eat plants and meat.

DECOMPOSERS

They decompose dead organisms. Some examples are fungi and bacteria.
