because there is not that many animals that eat other animals.

∙ 8y agoBecause there is no single food chain where one animal eats only one thing and is eaten only by one animal. Animals have a wide menu of plants and animals they can eat, making it a complex web not a simple chain.

∙ 12y agoThere are only small numbers of top carnivores in a food chain because of the small population that the top carnivores suffer from e.g. getting killed by predators or having to find land, mates etc.

How is a food web diffrent from a food chain?
A food web shows many consumers, producers etc. and a food chain shows only one strand.
4 lengths of chain with 3 links eachhow can you make a circular chain with 12 links if you only cut and rejoin 3 links?
Completely unjoin all three links of one section of chain and use those three links to link together the remaining chain links.
How long can a food chain be?
A food chain can only be up to 5 trophic levels in length, including the producer. Only a small proportion of the previous organism's energy is passed down through trophic levels to the next organism. This diminishes the energy available, so there is little or no energy to be gained after the 5th stage of a food chain. :)
Why are there only a few food chains in a food chain?
because there is not that many animals that eat other animals.
How many organisms need to be in a food chain to carry out cellular respiration?
a food chain should only consist of four or five organisms to carry our cellular respiration
Why is a producer the first living thing in a food chain?
Producers are the only members of the food chain that create food. Therefore they must be the first in the food chain because they are the source of the food.

Explain what a food web is and how it differs from a food chain?
a food web is when you have different varieties and it differs because a food chain is only a line
What is a food chian?
A food chain is a linear sequence of links in a food web starting from species that are called producers in the web and ends at species that are called decomposers in the web. A food chain also shows how the organisms are related with each other by the food they eat. A food chain differs from a food web, because the complex polyphagous network of feeding relations are aggregated into trophic species and the chain only follows linear monophagouspathways. A common metric used to quantify food web trophic structure is food chain length. In its simplest form, the length of a chain is the number of links between a trophic consumer and the base of the web and the mean chain length of an entire web is the arithmetic average of the lengths of all chains in a food web.[1][2]
How are whales useful when they are alive?
Not only do they maintain their niche of the food chain but they are a tourist attraction in many places.
