Question

The flow of energy in a Food Chain.

Answer 1

actually theres also the part where carbohydrates get eaten by animals or used by decomposers (e.g. fungi).

and the part where some animals in turn get eaten by carnivores or omnivores to obtain fats and proteins.

Answer 2

Energy transfer in the food chain is from one trophic level to next. However, not all the energy is transferred as some of it is used for movement, growth, or reproduction repair. The energy flow begins from the primary producers that make their own food by using the solar energy through photosynthesis. In photosynthesis process, the solar energy is converted into chemical energy which is partly used by the plants and the rest stored as carbon compounds.
