Plants are producers. Plants are autotrophic, meaning that they self-feed through the process of photosynthesis. Without plants in the food chain creating energy for non-living sources (the sun) the rest of the food chain would not exist.

Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (animals that eat both animals and plants)

The food chain end with hawk, which claims the title as the top carnivore

Apex predators are usually defined in terms of trophic dynamics, meaning they occupy the highest trophic levels.]]> 2020-11-24 17:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4000175/63zvfe8k30naghrp/wish/957183798
