What is food chain?

a)

it is the process during which producers use chemical energy in matter rather than light energy and make food.

b)

it is a model that shows how energy flows in an ecosystem through feeding relationships.

c)

it is a model of energy transfer that shows how food chains in a community are interconnected.

d)

it is an energy model that shows the amount of energy available in each step of a food chain.

2.
