A food chain is a sequence of higherarchy in eating patterns, like who eats who and then who eats them in a specific system.
An example: The mouse eats berries, the snake eats the mouse, the fox eats the snake or the minnows eat the algea, the small fish eats the minnow, the big fish eats the small fish, the shark eats the big fish... etc...
A food pyramid is more general.
Such as: All eaters of plants at the bottom, smaller carnivores eat them, larger carnivores eat them...
I hope this helps you!
the difference is that energy pyramids show life and food pyramids are just stacks of food
Pyramids of energy show the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level of a food chain or food web. (:
Ecological pyramids show the relative amount of energy or biomass stored at each trophic level in a food web. They illustrate the decrease in energy or biomass as it moves up the trophic levels due to inefficiencies in energy transfer.
it when the food web and food chain
True. Ecological pyramids illustrate the flow of energy or matter through trophic levels in a food web by arranging organisms based on their position in the food chain. Generally, the lower the trophic level, the greater the amount of energy or biomass that can be supported.
Energy pyramid Energy pyramid.
its called Eltonian Pyramids......named so in the honour of a scientist ELTONIAN who prepared these graphs for the first time....these pyramids (graphs)are prepared on various basis,such as biomass,number,and energy....
what energy role does the cat play in the food web
Food energy, which is a type of chemical energy.
Food chains ,webs and energy pyramids all show how certain organisms in an ecosystem consume one another, or how each organism energizes another. Hope I helped :D
their webs
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
