The usual composition of a food chain is a producer and multiple consumers.

The usual composition of a food chain is a decomposer, a producer, and some consumers.

The usual composition of a food chain includes a producer and multiple consumers. In a food chain, energy flows from the producer, usually a plant or other autotrophic organism, to consumers, which are heterotrophic organisms that consume the producers or other consumers. The consumers can be primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants), secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores), or tertiary consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores). The consumers can be organized in a linear fashion, where each organism is eaten by the next, creating a chain of energy transfer.
