food chain A food chain is a network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species.
ecosystem to sustain itself . substance necesaary for it's survival & growth (eg. water or nitrogen) . input of energy (eg, sunlight) . wide range o species living there - biodiverty
