Food Chain - Ecosystem Energy

The video explains the food chain, highlighting the roles of producers and consumers. It starts with a cheetah and gazelle, illustrating energy flow. Producers like grass use photosynthesis to create food, while consumers like gazelles and cheetahs obtain energy by eating other organisms. The video details the energy transfer from the sun to plants, then to primary consumers like gazelles, and finally to secondary consumers like cheetahs.
