Food chain

Food chain of animals is defined as the transfer of food energy from one organism to another organism in an ecology.A food chain of animals starts with producers, then  herbivores and ends with carnivores.

For example, herbs and plants are producers, grass-shoppers and cow are herbivores and tigers and wolves are carnivores.
