Write a short note on Ecological Pyramids of environmental studies?
The concept is often associated with descriptions of food chains and food webs (Food Chains and Food Webs in an Ecosystem, Food Chain and Food Web Book Reviews). An ecological pyramid is an illustration of the reduction in energy as you move through each feeding (trophic) level in an ecosystem. The base of the pyramid is large since the ecosystem's energy factories (the producers) are converting solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. A food chain can also depict a reduction in energy at each feeding level if the arrows, drawn between the different levels, continue to be reduced in size.
What happens in a food chain and food web if the population size of an organism changes?
Food chains, along with food webs and food networks, describe the feeding relationships between species in a biotic community. In other words, they show the transfer of material and energy from one species to another within an ecosystem. A food chain describes a single pathway that energy and nutrients follow in an ecosystem, while a food web describes a complex network of interactions.
What are some examples of hierarchy in biology?
Food chains/webs.
How are food webs on land and in water different?
the animals are different.
How are food webs on land and in the water different?
the animals are different.
What is the order of food webs?
A food web is a network of interrelated food chains in a given area. An example of a food chain is: producer, first order consumer, second order consumer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, scavenger, detritivore, decomposer.
What is the role of producers in food chain and food webs?
The energy from the sun!
What is the same about food chain and food webs?
A food web is many food chains.
What is primary source for food chain and food webs?
The primary souce is the SUN
Do multiple intersecting food webs make up a food chain?
yes
Does energy cycle in a food chain involves energy transfer in food webs?
Yes
What role does the senator play top of the food chain?
of course in food chains and webs
What advantage do organisms in a food web have over those in food chain?
There is no advantage as all animals are involved in both food chains and food webs. The only difference is through the fact that food webs are more complex and supply more information then a food chain.

Why are omnivores important in food webs?
Omnivores eat BOTH plants and animals in a food chain.
