= = =This is all part of the food web (feeding relationships in an ecosystem), which is also part of the food chain(illustrates the flow of energy through an ecosystem). the order of this food chain would have autotrophs (plants) at the very bottom, Heterotrophs eat everything else. So everything except for autotrophs are heterotrophs. them herbivores (because they get the energy from autotrophs), then carnivore, omnivore, scavengers, and at the very top is decomposer's. Decomposer's are at the very top of the food chain because they brake down everything making a part of the ground once again. Carnivores will even eat other carnivores.=
