Food Web

Caption

Specific food web formed by plants, plant eaters and top predators and their feeding connections. Plants are capable of using basic chemical or physical nutrients to live and reproduce, this means there is a flow of energy from the nutrients to the plants. Plant-eating animals may live exclusively on the available plants while top predators feed on other animals.
