What is a complex network of food chains?
When all food chains in a habitat are joined together in some way, they form a food web. They are normally several food chains all joined up together, and may include the same predator or prey more than once in a food chain. Food webs are slightly more complex than food chains, and may sometimes be harder to read and understand. hope this helps
Which organism belong to more than one food chain?
An organism that is omnivorous, like a human, can belong to more than one food chain as it can consume both plants and animals for energy. By feeding on a variety of organisms, omnivores can occupy multiple trophic levels in different food chains.
Why is aquatic food chain longer than those of land animals?
Aquatic food chains tend to be longer than land food chains because aquatic ecosystems often have more diverse and abundant species at each trophic level. The availability of different habitats and a greater variety of food sources in aquatic environments allows for more complex interactions and energy transfer among organisms, resulting in longer food chains. Additionally, the presence of phytoplankton, which form the base of many aquatic food chains, supports a larger number of higher trophic levels.
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.
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
How are food webs different from food chains, and why are food webs considered more useful in understanding the interactions between organisms in an ecosystem?
Food webs are more complex than food chains because they show multiple interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem, while food chains only show a linear sequence of who eats whom. Food webs are considered more useful in understanding ecosystem interactions because they depict the interconnectedness of organisms and the flow of energy and nutrients more accurately, showing the complexity of relationships in an ecosystem.
How many different food chains can there be?
more than 60
Why does a food web tell more about an ecosystem than a food chain?
Because the food web contains2 and more food chains
Why is it more common to find short food chains than to find long food chains.?
because a food chain is based on one certain thing in the ecosystem ....if the entire ecosystem was in it it would be a food web which is food chains from an ecosystem linked together

Why is a food web more accurate than a food chain in describing how energy is transferred throughout an ecosystem?
because it has different food chains in it
Why the food webs are formed from food chains?
When all food chains in a habitat are joined together in some way, they form a food web. They are normally several food chains all joined up together which may include the same predator or prey in more than one food chain. hope this helps
Why is it more common to find short food chains than long food chains?
The predator of one animal is usually very strong, making it hard for another animal to adapt to preying on it.
Why do food chains usually have no more than four animals?
because it's a chain...and the chains added together make a food web...duhh! ^ this is wrongg because so much energy passes of a food chain, there is not enough energy for any more species
Is it true that many animals can obtain food from more than one source therefore they can belong to serveral food chains?
True - Plato answer
Why marine food chain can have more than 5 trophic levels?
food webs ... and because in marine ecosystems, there are phytoplankton as well. These microorggansims are not apparant in terrestrial food chains
Why do most food chains consist of no more than 3 or 4 levels?
During the progression of each stage, the organisms in the food chain exert tons of energy. Most chains are broken down to four stages for that reason.
