Saprophytic or Detritus Food chain:
In this food chain, the dead organic matter or organic wastes (metabolic wastes and extrudates) of eco-system go to the micro-organisms and finally to detritus feeding organiss known as detrivore. The energy stored in detritus serves as a source of energy for detrivore. This type of food chain is less efficient as the major portion of energy is lost to the eco-system without being properly used.
Food Chain of Different Eco-Systems:
Grassland eco system: Grass →Grasshopper →Toad→ Snake
Grass→ Rat→ Snake→ Hawk
Forest eco system: Plant→ Deer→ Lion
