The difference between the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient. This concentration gradient between a cell and its environment shows a difference resulting in the simplest form of transport called the passive transport. It is the movement of substances from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration along with the concentration gradient across a semi permeable membrane.
Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration. All these processes are involved in various metabolic activities of the cell. Some of the examples are the movement of water molecules, nutrients, elimination of waste substances, exchange of gases and important life processes like digestion, respiration, excretion, transmission of nerve impulses and others depend on different types of passive transport. On elimination of concentration gradient between a cell and its environment, all the metabolic activities of the cell are inhibited and the cell dies.

Explanation:
Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Small Fish, Mammal
Phytoplanktons are the small photosynthetic organism that can produce their own feed and so are the producers in this food chain. Zooplanktons are small organisms incapable of producing their own food and eat phytoplanktons. Small fishes consume zooplanktons since due to their small size they are unable to eat bigger organisms. Mammals eat small fishes since they are omnivorer.
If there aren't leaves there is no photosynthesis. Photosynthesis makes food. Leaves has clorplasts in them which make food from light and Co2
