Food Chain

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to charge your phone, but you need to find the right series of adapters to connect your old charger to a modern outlet. Just like how your phone depends on the proper flow of electricity through various adapters to get charged, organisms in an ecosystem rely on the transfer of food energy through different levels of the food chain to survive. The adapters represent different organisms, each one passing energy from one to the next, ensuring that the energy flows smoothly through the ecosystem just as electricity flows through adapters to finally power your phone.
