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. The Arctic has an abundance of living organisms and animals. Did you know that microscopic diatoms and krill are the primary producers? How about the primary consumers? Find out who the primary and secondary consumers and top predators are through these web sites.
