Want this question answered?
it would effect the food chain because one part of the food chain is missing
Before the energy is transferred between animals, some energy is used to travel between distances and to keep the animal alive, therefore not all of the starting energy is gained by the consumer.
Because when you eat you get energy and a food chain tells you which animal eats what
eat another energy pass only 10 percent
energy is transferred from on animal to the other animal. Because energy can't be destroyed only transferred
In the basic food chain, autotrophs are the organisms that do not receive energy from a plant or animal. Autotrophs make their own food and energy.
The energy decreases as you move step to step in a chain .........................................The first organism (primary consumer) that eats the producer (green plants) will have the most number of energy................................while the last organism in the chain (top predator) will have the least number of energy in the chain.
The role that the consumer in a food chain plays is to take that energy away from that animal by eating it.
they both involve animals eating eachother both have a good concept of how energy is transferred when an animal eats another
because energy has to travel up the food chain, and by the 9th link there is very little energy for the animal to use
There is the food chain sun gives energy to plants through photosynthesis, small animal eg. rabbit eats plants takes the plants energy, bigger animal eg. fox eats rabbit takes rabbits energy bigger animal eats fox this is the foxs' preditor. so the source of energy is the sun because energy is pasted up the food chain.
