What else can I help you with?
How can you tell an animal is an omnivore when looking at food web?
It eats both meat and vegetables/leaves/fruit.
Where does the energy for a food chain or food web originate from?
The sun. The sun gives energy to the plants, and then the herbivores, then carnivores eat the herbivores or omnivore's eat herbivores
Are krill the dominant herbivores in the Antarctic food web?
Krill are a key component of the Antarctic food web, serving as a primary food source for many species including whales, seals, and penguins. While they play a crucial role, they are not the dominant herbivores in the Antarctic ecosystem, as there are other herbivorous organisms like algae and small fish that also contribute to the food web.
What level in a food web is an omnivore?
An omnivore can occupy multiple levels in a food web. It can be considered both a primary consumer if it eats plants, and a secondary or tertiary consumer if it also preys on other animals. This flexibility allows omnivores to adapt to different niches within an ecosystem.
Is a plant a carnivore herbivore omnivore?
None of the above. Plants are detritivores, they make their own food via the process of photosynthesis.
Which of the following is a primary consumer in the food web shown above?
an ant
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.
Where does the black bear fit in the food web?
The American black bear fits at the top of the food web, as a third level consumer. This bear normally eats producers, (berries, nuts, seeds, and veggies.) If none of those are avalibale, it will eat meat. The black bear is an omnivore.
What is a over lapping food chain?
Food web.
What are humans considered in the food web?
Humans are considered apex predators in the food web, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and typically do not have natural predators. However, humans are omnivores and also consume plants, making them a part of multiple trophic levels in the food web.
What organisms begin the food chain?
omnivore
How might an omnivore be a link to both the beginning of a food web and the end?
== == Since it is a "WEB" there is no beginning or end as you say. However there are interesting things to behold if you look at the food web from the perspective of energy flow and how different types of organisms "link or knot" together in the flow of energy through the web. Lets look at it from the perspective of the omnivore: We can entirely identify with Homo sapiens, or man. Man as an omnivore may eat plants or algae (sea weed, spirulina) which use the energy from the sun to fix carbon into energy molecules like sugar. Plants as primary producers of biologically available energy could be considered to be the "beginning" of the web. Have a salad and you have tied yourself (an omnivore hopefully) to this part of the web. This is the Herbivore in us. Being omnivorous humans can eat insects (which many cultures do) or cows, which both feed on plants and can be considered the next link in the flow of energy. We could continue eating our way through the food energy web to link to the "end" when we feast on shark or bear (also an omnivore) or lion or crocodile or any animal that eats other animals. This is the carnivore and predator in us. However this "end" may not be the end as our feces (poop) is further fed upon by bacteria or fungi (decomposer) extracting the very last amounts of bio-available energy from the biomass and returning some minerals and other nutrients to the soil, which the plants then use. This could also be considered the "beginning" of the web. The food web is a complex system that has no beginning or end and has many loops, twists, knots and folds with no edges. Picture a ball net like the ones soccer balls are kept in, but empty and folded and wadded into a pile. You can think of omnivores as the cross links between various places on the web connecting a myriad of organisms. The term food chain is antiquated and its use indicates ignorance of the complexity of life. The answer seems pretty obvious if you have adequately expressed your question. An omnivore basically eats everything. Therefore its link to the beginning would be when it eats something lower than itself on the food chain. Its link to the end would be if it were eaten by another creature. Once the predator ate and digested it, your omnivore would become fertilizer which would nourish the plants that other creatures at the lower end of the food chain feed on - maybe another omnivore. And if predators didn't pick your omnivore's carcass clean, the remaining soft tissue would rot and decay...ending up as fertilizer. I know your question used the term 'food web' and in my answer I used 'food chain' but I think you should be able to figure out how my answer translates to fit your question. It works pretty much the same way.
