Detailed explanation-1: -Food webs illustrate energy flow from primary producers to primary consumers (herbivores), and from primary consumers to secondary consumers (carnivores).
Detailed explanation-2: -A food chain shows how energy is transferred from one living organism to another via food. It is important for us to understand how the food chain works so that we know what are the important living organisms that make up the food chain and how the ecology is balanced.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is a unidirectional flow of energy in a food chain. This means that the energy flow in a linear and one direction only. The energy will flow from a plant to a deer only. The deer will not provide energy to the plant in reverse. Similarly, the deer will not consume a tiger to get the energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Energy flow is the flow of energy through living things within an ecosystem. All living organisms can be organized into producers and consumers, and those producers and consumers can further be organized into a food chain. Each of the levels within the food chain is a trophic level.
