What are plants called in a food chain?
Plants are the producers in a food chain. They take in energy from the sunlight and convert it into things all other organisms (animals, humans, decomposers) need to grow and survive. Plants are the producers Herbivores (that eat the plant) are the Primary Consumers (1o) What eats the herbivore are the Secondary Consumers (2o) What eats that are the Terciary Consumers (3o) and so on...
In a food chain why are plants called producers and animals called consumers?
Plants (or at least most plants; there are some exceptions) do not eat any other organism; they create their own food out of water, air, minerals and sunlight. Whereas, all animals have to eat some other organism to survive. Some eat plants and some eat other animals, but every animal eats some kind of organism. So plants produce the food upon which all animals ultimately depend (because even if an animal eats other animals, the animals that it eats depend upon plants).
Why do you need more plants than animals in the food pyramid?
Other than fungi, plants don't eat other plants so you need animals in the food chain. This includes herbivores to eat the plants. Carnivores to eat the herbivores. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.
Who eats a trail from plants up to carnivores?
Animals such as herbivores eat plants, omnivores eat both plants and animals, and carnivores eat other animals. This forms a food chain where energy and nutrients are transferred from one level to the next.
What living things eat each other?
Animals which eat plants (which are also living things) are called herbivores. Animals which feed mainly on other animals are termed carnivores. Some animals specialise in eating insects and they are termed insectivores and animals which have a mixed diet that can include meat and plants are called omnivores. There are also some plants which can ingest small mammals, birds or insects, these are usually referred to as insectivorous or carnivorous plants.

What is a system in which plants and animals feed upon other organisms?
Food Chain.
IT is what kind of animals that eats either other plants or animals?
IT refers to carnivores, which are animals that primarily eat other animals for their nutrition. They are part of the food chain and play an important role in maintaining ecosystems by controlling the population of herbivores and other animals. Examples of carnivores include lions, tigers, and eagles.
Animals the eat both plants and animals?
Animals that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.
Why would no other organisms have energy if plants were destroyed?
Because plants are at the bottom of the food chain and it they didn't provide food for other animals the whole food chain would die
Why are plants on top of the food chain?
because other animals have a unknown substance in the blood
What are the benefits of a food chain?
Food Chain shows food relationship of living things in an ecosystem consist of a seveis of animals that eat plants and other animals.
Animals that eat another items how thy are called?
An animal that eats other animals are called carnivors. Animals that eat plants are called herbivores. Animals that eat both animals and plants are called omnivores.
What are the most abundant organism in a food chain?
All animals are part of one or more food chains and the food chain starts with plants. Many of the very smallest animals eat plants, but most larger animals eat other animals. The bigger animals eat smaller ones. That is the chain. And that makes the smallest animals most important because they cause the chain to progress.
