A food chain is an organized series of living things linked together by an alimentary (food related) relationship. Animals draw the energy needed for survival from their food. At the base of such a chain one finds the producers. The animals situated one step up on the chain are the first level consumers: the herbivores. They are the prey of the second level consumers: the carnivores. A carnivore that doesn’t have any predators is called an apex predator.
