reciprocal relationships between living things (biotic) and the environment (abiotic). One form of the interrelationships between living things is "Food Chain". At these events, components of the ecosystem, especially biotic component, has three basic roles, namely as producers, consumers and decomposers. 1. food chain food chain is the event eat and being eaten between living things in a certain order in which the displacement of matter or energy. In The food chain there are several components that play a role are 1. producers Producers make their own food As producers green plants produce food [carbohydrate] through the through the process of photosynthesis producers is the main energy source for other organisms, namely the consumer.

2. Consumers can not make their own food in the body sois called heterotrophic eat green plants and also eat each other get organic substances that have been established by the producer, or from another customer become prey Consumers classified into three : herbivora karnivora and omnivora
Herbivora Omnivora Karnivora
3. Decomposers
decomposers are organisms that decompose organic
matter derived from dead organisms. Classified as decomposers are bacteria and fungi. There are also decomposers called detritivor, namely animals that eat decomposing remains of organic materials, for example is woodlice.

Grazing food chain a food chain that starts from plants as producers. Grazing food chain groove can be seen in the 2. detritus food chain Primary source of energy is dead organic matter called 'detritus' which are fallen leaves, plant parts or dead animal bodies. Primary consumers are 'detritivores' including protozoans, bacteria, fungi, etc Detritus food chains are generally shorter than grazing food chains CONCLUSION
The food chain is the process of eating and being eaten
in a series of organisms with specific order in which the displacement of matter or energy. In the food chain levels or sequences of organisms are called trophic levels. trophic levels, namely producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary and quarter. Based component trophic levels of the food chain can be divided into two, namely Grazing food chain and the detritus food chain.
