A food chain shows how each living thing gets energy from food and passes that along to other specie. A food web includes several different food chains and shows how plants and animals are interconnected. Since it is an ocean environment, the animals that live in the Antarctic find their food in the ocean. At the bottom of this food chain are microscopic diatoms, crustaceans, and protozoan. Find out what is next in the food chain.
