If a component is left out of the food chain then something will not be able to eat it. Then it will die, and the component above it in the food chain will not be able to eat it, and will die. Basically, if a component is left out of the food chain, the food chain collapses.

Why can't food chains go forever?

Food chains cannot go on forever because the energy available in an ecosystem decreases as it moves up the food chain. This is due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is lost as heat during each transfer. Eventually, there is not enough energy left to support higher trophic levels.


How does the pyramid shape illustrate the fate of energy along a food chain?

An energy pyramid is like a food chain, because at the top of the pyramid, there is the most energy, and at the bottom there is the least energy. The same goes for a food chain, because the producer has 100% of the energy. The final consumer, or tursury consumer, has either little or no energy left from the primary, and secondary consumers, because they have used up almost all the energy breathing, moving and during digestion.

Is there a no ash cat food?

Not if it is a good quality, complete nutrition cat food. "Ash" is what is left behind when all of the fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber and water are removed. Ash includes minerals like calcium and phosphorus that are necessary for a cat's metabolism and survival. "No ash" cat food would be unhealthy to use as a cat's sole food source. As an aside, ashes are not added to the food for this mineral component. "Ash" is just a measurement made by incinerating/burning a food sample, and whatever is left behind (the protein, etc. are burned off) is considered the "ash" component measurement of the food.
