How does the Sun's Energy get to us?
Click this link to read a brief article about the different ways plants and animal use sunlight in their daily lives.
A food chain typically looks something like this:
Top Level Consumers (Carnivores like Cheetahs, hawks, and wolves)
Secondary Consumers (Smaller Carnivores like snakes)
Primary Consumers (Herbivores such as rabbits, moose, and deer)
Producers (Plants)
Decomposers (insects)
But where does the food chain start? With the sun, of course! ALL sources of energy come down to the plants and their absorption of sunlight. Herbivores eat plants for energy, and carnivores eat those herbivores for their energy.
