The Food Chain

A food chain is a great way to illustrate the flow of energy and matter through an ecosystem. In this video, we'll put together a typical Everglades food chain, from primary producer (periphyton) all the way up to the infamous top predator, the American Alligator.

In addition to the food chain video, check our our food web and food pyramid videos!

Great stuff! Can't wait to use this for my students. I like the clear description matched with the great shots of real life examples of each organism in the chain

Another excellent video! Didn't know about Periphyton, so that's cool!

As a fan of your original video on this topic (which I've used for several years in my ecology lessons), I like the updated footage and script. Keep up the good work.

im watching this as a student in my science class ;)

[zeynullahgider]

wait where is the energy greatest in a food chain

[enricotoleran]

This thing is good my tutor said study food chain

[professorbland]

I think humans will develop a larval stage at some point so that the younger generations don't have to compete with older generations for resources

lmao my English teacher just told me to watch ur video

A food chain stars with a plant and end with a animal like let say grass get eating by a springbok get eating by a baboon get eating by a cheetah later our cheetah dies and get dated by fungi

[taiwoawe]

Grass to Impala to baboon to cheetah to bacteria 🦠 when it dies
