Which is a better model of the movement of energy through an ecosystem a food chain or food web explain why?
A food web is a better model of the movement of energy through an ecosystem than a food chain because it shows the complex interactions and interconnectedness of different species within an ecosystem. Food webs illustrate the multiple paths through which energy flows, capturing a more realistic representation of the ecosystem compared to a linear food chain. Additionally, food webs account for the presence of omnivores, decomposers, and other ecological relationships that are not captured in a simple food chain.
How does the decay of biomass relate to a food chain or food webs?
The decay of biomass plays a critical role in food chains and food webs by releasing nutrients from dead organisms back into the ecosystem. This nutrient recycling process supports the growth of plants and primary producers, which are then consumed by herbivores and passed up the food chain to higher trophic levels. Without decomposition, nutrients would remain trapped in dead organic matter and unavailable to support the entire ecosystem.
How are food webs on land and in water different?
the animals are different.
How are food webs different from food chains, and why are food webs considered more useful in understanding the interactions between organisms in an ecosystem?
Food webs are more complex than food chains because they show multiple interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem, while food chains only show a linear sequence of who eats whom. Food webs are considered more useful in understanding ecosystem interactions because they depict the interconnectedness of organisms and the flow of energy and nutrients more accurately, showing the complexity of relationships in an ecosystem.
What happens in a food chain and food web if the population size of an organism changes?
Food chains, along with food webs and food networks, describe the feeding relationships between species in a biotic community. In other words, they show the transfer of material and energy from one species to another within an ecosystem. A food chain describes a single pathway that energy and nutrients follow in an ecosystem, while a food web describes a complex network of interactions.
What is the order of food webs?
A food web is a network of interrelated food chains in a given area. An example of a food chain is: producer, first order consumer, second order consumer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, scavenger, detritivore, decomposer.
What is the role of producers in food chain and food webs?
The energy from the sun!
What is the same about food chain and food webs?
A food web is many food chains.
Do multiple intersecting food webs make up a food chain?
yes
What is primary source for food chain and food webs?
The primary souce is the SUN
Does energy cycle in a food chain involves energy transfer in food webs?
Yes
What role does the senator play top of the food chain?
of course in food chains and webs
What advantage do organisms in a food web have over those in a food chain?
There is no advantage as all animals are involved in both food chains and food webs. The only difference is through the fact that food webs are more complex and supply more information then a food chain.

Why are omnivores important in food webs?
Omnivores eat BOTH plants and animals in a food chain.
