Show transcript
A food chain shows how living things depend on each other for food. The arrows in a food chain represent 'is food for'. Animals do not make their own food. They need to hunt or find plants or other animals to eat to survive. Animals are called consumers in a food chain because they eat plants or other animals. The first consumer in a food chain (primary consumer) can be a herbivore or an omnivore. Consumers are not arranged in order of importance, rather they all depend on each other for survival.
