The base of the food chain determines the number of levels above it. The first level needs to use about 90% of the energy that they make for themselves for growing and reproducing. That leaves 10% for the next level. That level uses 90% of that 10% for growth and reproduction. That means that only 1% of that can go up for the next level to use. Only in a very few ecosystems (tropical rain forests or temperate rain forests) is there even enough another level.

What links the food chains together in an ecosystem?
Food Web
What links all the food chains in an ecosystem?
Food Web
What links to gather many food chains?
What we call a food web.
How do food chain differ from food webs?
food chains are a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy,and a food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
Why can't a Food chain with infinite number of links exist in nature?
Presumably, each link in a food chain consists of one species on Earth. The number of species in nature can not exceed the number of creatures of all species. Assume that each creature requires some finite, non-zero volume of space on Earth; therefore, there is a minimum volume that all creatures each requires. An infinite number of creatures would occupy infinite space. Earth has not infinite space, albeit it seems very large to finite creatures like you and me. Therefore, no food chain on Earth can have infinite links.
How many food chains sre in a food web?
A food web can contain multiple food chains, each representing a relationship between different organisms in an ecosystem where energy is passed along through feeding. The number of food chains in a food web depends on the complexity of the ecosystem and the number of organisms interacting with each other.
What links together many food chains?
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it's called an ecosystem.
A network of food chains that share some links is a?
A food web is a network of food chains that are interconnected, showing the flow of energy through an ecosystem. It includes multiple food chains that overlap and interact, depicting the complex relationships between various organisms.
What is foodweb?
A food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
Do all food chains contain the same number of organisms?
nope.avi
How many food chains are there total in the world?
food chains are generally short,most food chains have anywhere from 3 or 4 links.food chains are generally short,most food chains have anywhere from 3 or 4 links.4 types
What is a level or feeding group called in a food chain?
Most chains have links so I would say that each step is called a link.
