Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A food chain is the unidirectional pathway along which energy flows through an ecosystem. It starts with a producer (plants), which is consumed by a primary consumer (herbivore), which is then consumed by a secondary consumer (carnivore), and so on. It is a simplified representation of the feeding relationships in the ecosystem. The other choices, food web, niche order, and trophic cascade, do not specifically represent the unidirectional flow of energy in an ecosystem.
