Understand the concept of a food chain: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
Identify the roles in a food chain: Typically, a food chain consists of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers.
Define producers: Producers are usually plants or algae that produce energy through photosynthesis.
Define primary consumers: Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers.
Define secondary consumers: Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat herbivores, thus they are the organisms classified as secondary consumers in a food chain.
