Food chains give a simplified view.They don't show how the amount of energy changes at each position in the chain.Food chains also simplify relationships among organisms.Most organisms are part of many food chains.Besides eating termites,as shown in the food chain,kinkajous eat other foods,such as frogs,beetles,scorpions,ants,and fruit.Similarly,many consumers besides jaguars eat kinkajous.

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.


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 is a food web and a food chain?

A food chain is a linear sequence that shows how energy and nutrients are transferred from one organism to another. A food web, on the other hand, is a network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem, showing multiple relationships and interactions between different organisms.


Why are long food chains less effective in transferring energy than short food chains?

Short food chains are more efficient than long food chains because you lose energy as you go up the chain. For example, if we say that plants take in 100% of the possible energy, when a rabbit eats that grass, the rabbit only gets 50% of the energy because the plants were using their stored energy to make food. It continues on like this for as long as the food chain lasts. (Note: the amount of energy isn't correct; I just used those percentages as examples.


What shows how much energy and food is available in each level of an ecosystem?

Energy pyramid Energy pyramid.

How are food chains and energy pyramids alike?

I'm not sure, I have this for homework this week though XD


What is the difference between energy pyramid and food web?

the difference is that energy pyramids show life and food pyramids are just stacks of food


How are food chains food webs and food pyramids similar?

They show mainly the same info: how energy flows through predation. Food chains show a specific path in which energy flows, food webs show many different variations of paths, with many different species involved, while food pyramids show the same thing as a food chain, but in a pyramid box.


Why do ecologists use food chains and food webs?

Ecological Pyramids.


What Is the connection between the food web. and the food chain?

Food chains ,webs and energy pyramids all show how certain organisms in an ecosystem consume one another, or how each organism energizes another. Hope I helped :D


What do produces produce?

Producers produce energy, to put it simply. Food chains and webs are all about the flow of energy and who's getting energy from where. Since producers are at the bottom of food pyramids, they essentially produce energy.

What are the differences between food chains and food webs and food pyramids?

Food webs are made by a number of food chains. A trophic level is each level in a food chain where energy is transferred from a lower level to higher level. It includes producers, consumers - primary and secondary.


Write a short note on Ecological Pyramids of environmental studies?

The concept is often associated with descriptions of food chains and food webs (Food Chains and Food Webs in an Ecosystem, Food Chain and Food Web Book Reviews). An ecological pyramid is an illustration of the reduction in energy as you move through each feeding (trophic) level in an ecosystem. The base of the pyramid is large since the ecosystem's energy factories (the producers) are converting solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. A food chain can also depict a reduction in energy at each feeding level if the arrows, drawn between the different levels, continue to be reduced in size.


Why is the light reaction required in photosnthetic process of photosynthesis?

Because plants use the light in the process of photosynthesis to make sugars that they use for food as producers to maintain the most energy in all food chains, food webs, and food pyramids..


What do food chains transfer?
