By the way, there's a 10-linked ocean food chain which is the Ocean Food Chain:
Sun> Seaweed>Zooplankton>Plankton>Krill>Shrimp>Small Fish>Medium Fish>Big Fish>Shark>Whale
Food Chain Explanation: The zooplanktons eat the seaweeds, the planktons eat the zooplanktons, the krill eat the planktons, the shrimps eat the krill, the small fishes eat the shrimps, the medium fishes eat the small fishes, the big fishes eat the medium fishes, the sharks eat the big fishes and the whales eat the sharks.
Food Chain Trophic Precedence:
Seaweed-Producer
Zooplankton-Primary Consumer
Plankton-Secondary Consumer
Krill-Tertiary Consumer
Shrimp-Quaternary Consumer
Small Fish-Quinary Consumer
Medium Fish-Senary Consumer
Big Fish-Septenary Consumer
Shark-Octonary Consumer (Apex Prey)
Whale-Novenary Consumer (Apex Predator)

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.
Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?
There is a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain because with each transfer, some energy is lost as heat due to inefficiencies in metabolism and other biological processes. As energy is lost at each trophic level, there is not enough energy available to sustain a large number of links in a food chain. This is known as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level.
Why are there rarely more than four links in a food chain?
There are 3 or 4 at the most with only one with five. The reason is the fact that not all of the energy (100%) that the chain began with is passed on. Only 10% of the energy of the first level is passed to the second level. Of that 10% only 10% of that is passed on.That is 0.1 x 0.1= 0.01. That is now 1%. Of this 1% only 10% is passed on. 0.01 x 0.10 = 000.1 That is 0.1%. We are at only at the second level. To go further there is only 10% of 0.01% is left to be passed on. That means that there is very little left for a large number of consumers in the third level.
How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain grass and rarr rabbit and rarr hawk What percentage of the energy stored b?
Well think about it. If only 10 percent energy goes around. Do the math
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.
How many links are in the 10 yard football chain?
Each link in the chain is 1 1/2 inches in length. That makes 8 links per foot of chain, 24 links per yard and 240 links per 10 yards. Click on the 'Football Chain for Determining First Downs' link on this page to see a detailed description of a football chain used to measure first downs.
A fourteen carat gold chain weighs 10 grams. How much gold does it contain?
24 carats is pure gold so a 14 carat chain weighing 10 grams contains [(14/24) X 10] grams. This is equal to 5.8333333 recurring grams of gold.
Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?

This is known as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level.
Why does a food chain have five or fewer links?
A food chain typically has five or fewer links due to energy loss at each trophic level, as described by the 10% rule, where only about 10% of the energy from one level is transferred to the next. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained, as there is not enough energy to support a large number of consumers at higher levels. Additionally, longer food chains become more complex and less stable, making ecosystems more vulnerable to disruptions.
What travels through the food chain?
Energy. In general, only about 10% of the energy available is able to be passed up the food chain.
Find a Food beginning with S containing 10 letters?
Sauerkraut is a food. It contains 10 letters.
Can you give me a 10 organism food chain?
Yes, because a food chain may contain as many organisms as needed or observed.
Explain why a food chain can have no more than three or four links?
As more organisms participate in a food chain, less energy is transferred from the prey to the predator. On average about 10% of the energy on one level is transferred to the next level. The other 90% is either lost as heat or cannot be digested. Example: A plant contains 10,000 kilocalories. The plant is eaten by an insect that will only gain 1,000 kilocalories of energy. Next, the insect is eaten by a fish which gains 100 kilocalories of energy. A bird consumes the fish and gains 10 kilocalories of energy. Finally, a mountain lion catches the bird and gains only 1 kilocalorie of energy.
Why do you call plants that start a food chain?
you call it a producer(i am 10!)
Does the bottom of the food chain have the least or most energy?
By bottom, do you mean where the food chain starts(with plants) then YES :) only 10% passes on to each level :)
