Explanation:

A food chain indicates the flow of energy in an ecosystem, where each organism occupies a given trophic level, thereby showing how the energy and nutrients pass through the chain when one organism eats another. In the food chain, the order is the following: 1-primary producers are autotroph organisms (i.e., plants, algae, cyanobacteria, etc), 2-organisms that eat primary producers are referred to as primary consumers, 3-organisms that eat the primary producers are named secondary producers and so successively in all trophic levels.
