Food chain is defined as the sequential steps of interlinking of the organisms which involves the transfer of food energy from one trophic level to another with repeated eating or being eaten process. In this, grass is the producer makes first trophic level and goat is the herbivore or the primary consumers which feeds on the grass makes secondary trophic levels. And, then flesh eaters, carnivores come, also known as secondary consumers, i.e, human beings which eats goat.
