In ecology, a food chain is a succession of organisms in an ecosystem that serves as continuation of food energy. An organism lower in food chain is a source of food energy (is consumed) for another organism on a higher level.

Example of a food chain:

algae --> protists --> squid --> seal --> killer whale
