All ecosystems are made up of food chains that begin with energy i.e. sunlight extracted from the physical environment and converted to organic matter by plants.
Herbivores (plant eating animals) synthesize a portion of the plant material in their bodies. the flesh of the herbivores provides nutrition and energy to carnivores (flesh eating animals). Thus, energy is passed on from one organism to another step by step thus establishing a link. These links together form a food chain.
