How Does the Food Chain Affect Living Organisms

Food Chain

A food chain shows how organisms are connected by the food they eat. It is the transfer of energy in the form of food from one organism to another. It begins with producer organisms. The organisms in each part of the food chain depend on each other as a source of food.
