Answer 1

what is something is passed from one living thing to anoter in a food chain

Answer 2

Food chains show possible feeding strategies for a group of organisms. There are usually only four levels in a food chain because the amount of energy transferred from one organism to the next diminishes as you move up the levels. For example, the 1st Trophic or Energy level is the Producers which are plants, algae, etc. Members of this level received energy from the sun. Producers are consumed by Primary Consumers in the 2nd Energy level by plant eaters. In the 3rd Energy level, the Primary Consumers are eaten by the Secondary Consumers or carnivores. Finally, in the 4th Energy level the Top Consumers eats the Secondary Consumer.

Answer 3

Many things are passed from one thing to another in a food chain. One of these things is energy, although only 10% of the energy from a given level of the food chain can make it to the next level. Another thing that organisms pass up the food chain are nutrients. However, with modern pollution, toxic chemicals are passed up the food chain, too. For each level that toxins travel up the food chain, the more the toxin content becomes amplified because all of the toxins that were accumulated in the entire lives of all of the prey animals consumed by one predator are stored in its tissues.
