About this document

Food Chains in Coniferous Forests by angeltwinkle is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) Plants produce their own food through photosynthesis while animals must obtain energy by eating plants or other animals. 2) A food chain shows the transfer of energy from one organism to another as they eat and are eaten, starting with producers like plants and ending with top consumers. 3) There are fewer organisms at each successive level of the food chain because much of the energy is lost as heat at each transfer, so many herbivores are needed to support fewer carnivores higher up.
