WHAT ARE TROPHIC RELATIONSHIPS?

The relationships between the organisms that eat and the organisms that are eaten are called trophic relationships.
Producers (plants) make their own food.
Herbivores are primary consumers, they feed on plants.
Carnivores are secondary consumers, they feed on herbivores.
Other carnivores are tertiary consumers, they feed on secondary consumers.
Decomposers break down the remains of dead organisms.
A food chain shows the trophic relationships between different organisms.
