The links between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the energy captured by photosynthesis is the food chain. The food chain links all organisms together based on the flow of energy they receive from each other. This flow of energy is received by organisms eating organisms on the food chain. The chain starts with producer organisms such as trees or flowers who use photosynthesis and it ends with the top predators. These predators are the dominant group who are at the top of the food chain.
