Example:
Lettuce: 52 lettuce. They all contain 5 energy
Bug: 26 bug. They eat 2 lettuces 10 energy
Bird: 13 bird. Eat 2 bugs have 20 energy.
Hawk: 5: eat about 3 birds get 60 energy.
See where I'm coming from???

What purpose do ticks have?
They serve an important role in an ecosystem by taking energy from hosts higher on the food chain and bringing it back to the lower end of the food chain. Birds and other insects feed on ticks, cycling the energy. (i still think we could do without them, over all i think it would be good thing)
How does stored energy get in foods?
Food in the form of unused calories (energy) is stored as body fat.
What happens to the other 90 percent of the energy?
A food chain is defined as a hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food. According to the ten percent law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the energy from organic matter is stored as flesh.
What is the pygmy marmoset food chain?
The sun gives the fruit energy which the monkeys eat and the snakes eat the monkeys. Then the snakes die and create bacteria which is the decomposer which give energy to the fruit and it goes over and over and over again. But sometimes the snake can be exchanged with birds or eagles.
What is Disrupting of food chain and food web?
food chain is just one line of different animals eating the next, like a chain, and a food web is like a bunch of branches spreading all over, like a web.
Explain how energy passes through a food chain?
The first level of the food chain are producers who make their own food from photosynthesis. The herbivores and omnivores eat the first level and convert that energy for use. That level is also eaten by the omnivores and the carnivores who further convert the energy.
What will happen in food chain There Was An Increase In The Hawk Population?
The hawk, depending on where it Is in the food chain, will decrease the amount of animals below it i.e. rabbits, squirrels, ect. and/or it will be over populating the animal above it on the food chain therefore making the food chain and way of life not balanced.
How energy flow through the ecosystem food web?
Energy flows up a food chain, from the primary producers to the primary consumers, to the secondary consumers, up to the tertiary and then quaternary consumers. Energy flows when one organism eats another.
Does the food chain transfer nutrients from organism to organism?
Yes. Food or fuel creates energy, energy is transferred through "nutritional" content. There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.
What are the Effects of over fishing?
Bad for food chain
What is fish conservation?
Fish are part of the food chain in the oceans and seas, so if we over fish, then we are endangering the food chain and letting other species that live in the seas and oceans die out because of starvation. The whole food chain might collapse if you over fish, so DON'T!!!!!!!!!!
Does a lion connect to both ends of a food chain?
Alive it is essentially at the top of the food chain...when it dies and decomposes it provides nutritents that begin the cycle over again.
