Food Chain

Real World Example

Imagine waiting in line at a coffee shop, where one person orders and pays, then the barista makes the drink, and finally, the customer receives their coffee. This process is similar to a food chain in an ecosystem, where energy is transferred step-by-step from one organism to another. Just like the coffee starts with the cashier and moves to the barista before reaching the customer, energy in a food chain begins with producers like plants, moves to herbivores that eat the plants, and continues to predators that eat the herbivores, ensuring that energy is passed along efficiently from one link to the next.
