food chain links plants and animals to each other for survival. For example,
a plant gets eaten by a small animal. That animal is also food for another,
larger animal. Ultimately, when plants and animals die, decomposers cause them
to turn back into soil that will grow more plants and the circle of life continues.
The diagram at right illustrates a basic food chain.

start with the sun.
The sun gives energy to all
living things because the
energy from the sun goes into
the plants. When primary
consumers eat plants, they
get energy. That animal
will give energy to the
animal that eats it.
