as if there are too many organisms, the organisms population would drop faster

Explain why Can a ecosystem have more than one food chain?

No, an ecosystem as well as supporting the food chain also supports the organisms with an environment in which to live and bread.


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.


Is it true that Organisms such as deer that eat low on a food chain generally eat food with more of the initial energy that entered the system than organisms at higher trophic levels such as wolves?

Yes, that is true. Organisms lower on the food chain, like deer, tend to consume primary producers like plants that contain more of the initial energy from the sun. As energy moves up the food chain to higher trophic levels, like wolves, a significant amount is lost as heat at each level, so there is less energy available to organisms higher up.


Is every organism in a food chain exposed to the same concentration of pullutant?

No. The organisms lower on the food chain are exposed to less of the pollutant. For example, a rabbit only absorbs pollutants from the plants it eats. However, an eagle might eat more than one rabbit, and in turn, the eagle absorbs the pollutants from all of those rabbits.


How many plants and animals are in the food chain?

A food chain typically consists of multiple plants and animals, with each organism feeding on the one below it. The number of plants and animals in a food chain can vary depending on the ecosystem and the complexity of the interactions between organisms.

How is the size of an organism related to its position in a food chain?

Generally, larger organisms are higher up in the food chain because they are apex predators that predate on smaller organisms. As you move up the food chain, energy is transferred and stored, so larger organisms can sustain themselves by consuming a larger quantity of smaller organisms. Larger organisms also usually have fewer natural predators to keep their populations in check.


What happens in a food web of one or more of the organisms disappear?

If one of the carnivores disappear then its likely that it will not effect the food chain so the territory is safe so it can carry on his food chain


What advantage do organisms in a food web have over those in a food chain?

There is no advantage as all animals are involved in both food chains and food webs. The only difference is through the fact that food webs are more complex and supply more information then a food chain.

What are the advantages of a human or another omnivore eating organisms that are lower rather than higher in the food chain?

Eating organisms lower in the food chain, such as plants or primary consumers, offers several advantages. These organisms generally provide a more energy-efficient source of nutrition, as less energy is lost through metabolic processes compared to consuming higher trophic levels. Additionally, lower food chain organisms are often more abundant and easier to access, allowing for a more sustainable and reliable food source. This can lead to a reduced ecological footprint and lower impact on food webs.


Which food chain has 7 or more organisms?

Phytoplankton -> Zooplankton -> Crustacean -> Fish -> Squid-> Seal -> Killer Whale

What is a food web Why is it usually a better model of interactions than a food chain?

Because it shows more than a food chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a food web is set of interrelated food chains because the food web shows many relationships between different kinds of organisms while a food web just shows a set of organisms and how they interact or benefit from each other
