By the way, there's a 10-linked ocean food chain which is the Ocean Food Chain:
Sun> Seaweed>Zooplankton>Plankton>Krill>Shrimp>Small Fish>Medium Fish>Big Fish>Shark>Whale
Food Chain Explanation: The zooplanktons eat the seaweeds, the planktons eat the zooplanktons, the krill eat the planktons, the shrimps eat the krill, the small fishes eat the shrimps, the medium fishes eat the small fishes, the big fishes eat the medium fishes, the sharks eat the big fishes and the whales eat the sharks.
Food Chain Trophic Precedence:
Seaweed-Producer
Zooplankton-Primary Consumer
Plankton-Secondary Consumer
Krill-Tertiary Consumer
Shrimp-Quaternary Consumer
Small Fish-Quinary Consumer
Medium Fish-Senary Consumer
Big Fish-Septenary Consumer
Shark-Octonary Consumer (Apex Prey)
Whale-Novenary Consumer (Apex Predator)

How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain grass and rarr rabbit and rarr hawk What percentage of the energy stored b?
Well think about it. If only 10 percent energy goes around. Do the math
Why is the flow of energy through an ecosystem considered inefficient?
The transfer of energy and matter in a food chain is only 10% efficient because 90% doesn't get broken down or used while moving through the food chain.
Why do food chains have only 4 or 5 links?
Food chains can be seen in a energy pyramid. There are rarely more than three or more links since each predators are more dominant than others. This also means that particular of animals are barely been eaten from other predators. In addition, through the energy pyramid, the reason why is because 10% of it's energy in each trophic level is used and 90% of it is lost.
What is food for cells?
plant get their food from the sunlight, and use the chloroplast to convert it into energy they can use as food. animals get it by eating organisms lower on the food chain then them, and get energy (but only about 10%) from that.
How many links are in the 10 yard football chain?
Each link in the chain is 1 1/2 inches in length. That makes 8 links per foot of chain, 24 links per yard and 240 links per 10 yards. Click on the 'Football Chain for Determining First Downs' link on this page to see a detailed description of a football chain used to measure first downs.
What travels through the food chain?
Energy. In general, only about 10% of the energy available is able to be passed up the food chain.
Find a Food beginning with S containing 10 letters?
Sauerkraut is a food. It contains 10 letters.
Can you give me a 10 organism food chain?
Yes, because a food chain may contain as many organisms as needed or observed.
Explain why a food chain can have no more than three or four links?
As more organisms participate in a food chain, less energy is transferred from the prey to the predator. On average about 10% of the energy on one level is transferred to the next level. The other 90% is either lost as heat or cannot be digested. Example: A plant contains 10,000 kilocalories. The plant is eaten by an insect that will only gain 1,000 kilocalories of energy. Next, the insect is eaten by a fish which gains 100 kilocalories of energy. A bird consumes the fish and gains 10 kilocalories of energy. Finally, a mountain lion catches the bird and gains only 1 kilocalorie of energy.
Why do you call plants that start a food chain?
you call it a producer(i am 10!)
Does the bottom of the food chain have the least or most energy?
By bottom, do you mean where the food chain starts(with plants) then YES :) only 10% passes on to each level :)
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
What travels through a food chain or wed?
10 percent is traveled throughout
How much energy Is transferred between Food chain?
Unfortunately for later members in the food chain, only 10% of the energy of the organism that they ate is absorbed an usable by the consumer.
Can there be a food chain containing 10 organisms?
of course there could be a food chain containing 10 organisims. the world is big, most things are possible, and there are countless species of animals. many which we might not even have discovered yet.
