A food chain is a model that shows how energy and nutrients flow from one organism to another in an ecosystem. Arrows show the direction of the energy and nutrient flow. The number of “links” in a food chain can vary, but the food chain always starts with a producer and ends with a consumer.

A food chain can have just two components, a producer and a consumer. For example. a blueberry bush and a bear.

Other food chains are more complicated. A producer may be consumed by a herbivore (primary consumer), which is then eaten by a carnivore (secondary consumer). In the example below, another carnivore (tertiary consumer) eats the first carnivore.

The length of a food chain depends on the number of organisms. The flow of energy through a food chain is in one direction, from producers (on the far left) to consumers (to the right of the producer).
