What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
What is the shortest food chain in the food web?
It involves only a plant and a decomposer.
Would there be a food chain if there were only two living components?
Yes. One component would have to feed on another. More than likely this would be an animal feeding off of a plant, as plants are the only living components that can extract energy from the sun to produce food. Without plants, no living components would survive.
How many organisms need to be in a food chain to carry out cellular respiration?
Every organism in a food chain carries out cellular respiration. It involves the breakdown of organic molecules to release energy for metabolism. So, at least one organism in a food chain is needed to carry out cellular respiration.
What is the relationship between lion hunting a deer?
a lion is a predator (carnivore), so he/she hunts for food, as for a deer it is a herbivore it only eats plants.
Can you complete a food chain with only predator?
No. The predator has to eat something.
Who are the juguar's enemy?
The jaguar is the top predator of the food chain, it has no natural predators - only man.
Why is a field mouse never at the top or bottom of the food chain?
A field mouse is never at the bottom of a food chain because only decomposers (like worms and bugs) or plants (grass usually). A mouse is never at the top because it is not a predator. A simple food chain to help me explain would have grass or grains at the bottom and the mouse in the middle because it eats the grains/grass then the owl would be at the top because it's a predator and eats mice. You always end a food chain with a predator.
Where does the Sumatran tiger belong in the food chain?
They are the top predator although humans will poach the tigers but they are still the top predators. Due to this they only get 0.1% of the energy that came from the feeder at the bottom of the food chain.
What are fertiary consumers?
A carnivore at the highest level of the food chain. It eats only other carnivores and is usually the top predator in an ecosystem
What would happen if the predator died in a food chain?
it depends, doo you a food chain with only one preditor, or two or more? if one then the food chain is out of wack if two or more then the one that went extinced well then the other preditors will haves more food
What are the advantages of a food chain?
A food web is more accurate than a food chain. Animals eat different things, and are eaten by different things, a web will show all or most of its predators and prey, whereas a food chain will only show one predator and one prey.
Where is the great white in the food chain?
The white shark is an apex predator (on top of the food chain) and as such, has very few predators. Killer whales and larger sharks pose the only natural threat to an adult white shark.
Is a predator at the top of a food chain?
The food chain is actually a loop. Bunny eats carrot, cheetah eats bunny, maggots eat cheetah (after death), soil absorbs maggots, carrots absorbs soil, bunny eats carrot ... it goes round and round.The closest thing you could say is that cheetahs are at the top of the predatory food chain.
Differences between foodchain and foodweb?
food webs contain many food chains however a food chain shows only one primary source and food webs contain more than one primary source.
What are a predator to wolf?
Wolves in the wild are at the top of the food chain. The only predictors to wolves are perhaps other wolves. For example when food is low it's not uncommon for the alpha to eat the weak or injured. Though it's not a predator of the wolf bears have been know to kill a wolf.
Is a lion prey or is a lion the predator or is the lion both?
Lions are predators that hunt for food the are on the top of the food chain and their only threat are humans or other lions. They mostly hunt but on rare occasions they would scavenge
