12. Food Chain
12.1. A chain of species being eaten by its predaor and then its predator, etc. until the largest animal with no predators
13. Food Web
13.1. A number of species in a "web" that shows more then one predator per species most of the time. Also it usually shows a predators mutiple preys.
14. Producer
14.1. First organism on a food chain or web and it is a plant that transfers energy to a consumer.
14.1.1. Any type of plant
15. Primary Consumer
15.1. The first degree of a consumer that usually feeds of the Producer.
15.1.1. Mice
16. Secondary Consumer
16.1. The second degree of a consumer typically shown in a food chain or web, it usually feeds on the Primary Consumer.
