Energy and substances in food chains

4.6 Understand the transfer of substances and of energy along a food chain.

Producer turns light energy into chemical energy.
The chemical energy takes the form of organic molecules Including
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids

These molecules (food) are composed of                    Carbon to Hydrogen bonds
                                                                                  Carbon to Oxygen bonds
                                                                                  Carbon to Carbon bonds
                                                                                  Oxygen to hydrogen bonds
                                                                                  Carbon to nitrogen
These bonds represent energy.
But Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and nitrate are substances/Matter.

So as the primary consumer consumes the producer, it begins to form these substances and contain the energy which was fixed from sunlight now in the form of chemical energy.

The Primary consumer consumes this for growth, respiration and life processes.
In turn the secondary consumer consumes the primary consumer which passes on the same molecules, reorganising them into Cheetah form and so on.
The substances and energy is passed on.
