【题目】A food chain is a simple way of explaining how each living thing gets its food.For examplea simple African food chain might consist of three parts(1)trees and bushes(2)giraffes; and(3)lions.Each link in a food chain is food for the next link.Food chains always start with plants and end with animals.

Plants are at the bottom of the food chain.Scientists call them producersbecause they use light energy from the sun to produce food from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis(光合作用)Animalsunlike plantscan't produce their own food.Insteadthey must eat plants or other animals.This is why scientists call them consumers.

Consumer animals fall into three categories.Herbivores eat only plants.Carnivores eat only other animals.Omnivores eat both plants and animals.In addition to producers and consumersthere are also decomposers.These organismssuch as bacteria and fungifeed on decaying matter.They help the food chain by speeding up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the soil to be absorbed by plants as nutrients.

Most food chains have only four or five links in them.As you go up a food chainthe amount of energy at each level diminishesbecause some of the energy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at that level.That is why it takes many plantsfor exampleto feed a few giraffes who in turn feed one lion.

Most animals are part of many different food chainsbecause they must eat more than one type of food to satisfy their energy needs.All of these interconnected food chains form a more complex structure called a food web.Humansfor exampleare at the center of a very complex food webbecause we tend to eat many different types of plants and animals.
