Rainforest Food Chain


(Yes, this picture does not have a sun in it, but just picture it in your own head)



The sun is the ultimate source of energy, therefore making it a huge provider for a rainforest and many different biomes on this planet. The sun gives energy to a producer, such as a banana plant, which takes in that energy and allows it to make food for itself. Then, a primary consumer comes along, a monkey or an herbivore, and eats the producer as food. That animal uses that energy, and then gets eaten by a secondary consumer. A leopard eats the monkey and uses that energy until it dies sadly. Its dead carcass will get eaten by a scavenger or a decomposer, like bacteria. Scavengers will eat that body, but then it will die and get decomposed by a decomposer.
