What purpose do ticks have?
They serve an important role in an ecosystem by taking energy from hosts higher on the food chain and bringing it back to the lower end of the food chain. Birds and other insects feed on ticks, cycling the energy. (i still think we could do without them, over all i think it would be good thing)
How does stored energy get in foods?
Food in the form of unused calories (energy) is stored as body fat.
How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to how energy is passed on through the food chain?
The second law of thermodynamics states that as more chemical reactions occur, more heat energy is released in to the atmosphere. Apparently, heat energy is useless and so as more energy is transformed into heat energy, more entropy (or instability in the overall universe) becomes prevalent. So as energy is being consumed and passed up the food chain, chemical reactions to digest the food occurs and , as a result, entropy increases.
What is the pygmy marmoset food chain?
The sun gives the fruit energy which the monkeys eat and the snakes eat the monkeys. Then the snakes die and create bacteria which is the decomposer which give energy to the fruit and it goes over and over and over again. But sometimes the snake can be exchanged with birds or eagles.
What will happen in food chain There Was An Increase In The Hawk Population?
The hawk, depending on where it Is in the food chain, will decrease the amount of animals below it i.e. rabbits, squirrels, ect. and/or it will be over populating the animal above it on the food chain therefore making the food chain and way of life not balanced.
How energy flow through the ecosystem food web?
Energy flows up a food chain, from the primary producers to the primary consumers, to the secondary consumers, up to the tertiary and then quaternary consumers. Energy flows when one organism eats another.
Explain how energy passes through a food chain?
The first level of the food chain are producers who make their own food from photosynthesis. The herbivores and omnivores eat the first level and convert that energy for use. That level is also eaten by the omnivores and the carnivores who further convert the energy.
Does the food chain transfer nutrients from organism to organism?
Yes. Food or fuel creates energy, energy is transferred through "nutritional" content. There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.
Does a lion connect to both ends of a food chain?
Alive it is essentially at the top of the food chain...when it dies and decomposes it provides nutritents that begin the cycle over again.
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.
