What happens to the number of organisms as you go along any food chain in the food web?
the number of organsims decrease
Why are microorganisms important in ocean food chains?
Microorganisms such as algae are photosynthetic and convert energy from the sunlight into usable energy for organisms. Since organisms are inefficient at converting energy when consuming organisms, there needs to be a constant inflow of energy to sustain higher levels of the food chain. The loss of energy also explains why there are lesser numbers of organisms higher up on the food chain.
Are consumers at the bottom of the food chain?
No. Producers are at the bottom of the food chain.
Why is bacteria in the last step of a food chain?
Bacteria is in the last step on a food chain because is a decomposer!!
How does energy enter this food chain?
It originates from the sun and enters the food chain when plants absorb it for photosynethis.
What happens if a food chain changeS?
no
What best explains what happens in top of the food chain?
It means that it is either an apex predator (if it is a carnivore), or it is simply an animal that is too difficult or dangerous to kill, so no other animal threatens it. For example, the elephant is at the top of the African food chain, mostly because it is the strongest, and no animal hunts it regularly.
What happens when a food chain breaks down?
when a food chain breaks down, the animals above will not have enough food
What happens to the producer in a food pyramid?
top of the food chain
What happens if a component is left out of the food chain?
If a component is left out of the food chain then something will not be able to eat it. Then it will die, and the component above it in the food chain will not be able to eat it, and will die. Basically, if a component is left out of the food chain, the food chain collapses.
What happens to the other predators in food chain?
They die
What usually happens in a food chain if the producer is increased?
it because
What happens when food chains overlap in an ecosystem?
in a food chain and a food web what shows the movement of energy
The pyramid which best explains why there are typically only four to five links in a food chain is the pyramid of 1. energy. 2. productivity.3. biomass.4. matter. 5. number?
Energy
What happens usually to small animals in food chain or food web?
they get eaten by bigger animals.
What happens to energy as we move from step to step in a food chain?
I think what you are referring to is a food chain, It is a series of energy steps from plants to animals and more animals in the form of food.
If rabbits are poisoned what happens to their food chain?
Everything in the food chain above them is poisoned as well. The effect is cummulative so the apexial preditors are the most effected.
