Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Plants are not infinite in number. Producers are limited by consumers. Carnivores are too large to be eaten. Energy is lost at each trophic level.
