Construct a food web using green algae large carnivore fish water beetle tadpole water flea water snail small fish mosquitoes larva?

Green algae is at the base of the food chain, which is consumed by water fleas and tadpoles. Water fleas are eaten by water beetles, tadpoles are consumed by small fish, and water snails feed on algae. Small fish are preyed upon by large carnivore fish, while mosquitoes larvae feed on algae and small organisms.

What eats the brown marmorated stink bug?

Parasitoid wasps, spiders, wheelbugs and woodlice are predators that eat brown marmorated stink bugs. The pentatomid in question (Halyomorpha halys) has a natural predator in China, the parasitoid wasp scientifically name Trissolcus japonicus, whose importation scientists in the United States of America are weighing against the current monitoring of the efficaciousness of native parasitoid wasps in soybean fields being preyed upon by brown marmorated stink bugs in Virginia. Scientists hope that birds will become significant predators through the United States.

What could cause the owl population to decrease what effects on the food web could this make?

What feeds on the dead bodies of plants and animals?

Vultures and termites are good examples of scavengers, as are owls and raccoons. Hyenas, lions (even mountain lions), wolves, coyotes, and tigers will chase the original hunters away from carrion. Crows often exploit roadkill.

What is an example of producer in a food chain?

Only plants are producers, because they can produce their own food. All food chains start with the Sun, then go to plants (producers), then branch out to any combination of herbivores/omnivores, carnivores and finally end with decomposers, who break down biotic material and make new soil. The nutrients in the soil are used by the producers and then the chain keeps on going.

The previous answer, a rabbit, is misleading. The rabbit (example: Arctic hare) is a herbivore consumer of the plant.

What is the sperm whale food chain?

Why are there more producers than secondary and tertiary producers in a food pyramid?

Think of the food pyramid as a pyramid...

if your building a pyramid with blocks you need to have more blocks on the bottom then the top.

Also 1 Owl has to eat many mice to leave, so for 1 owl, there are 10 mice, a mouse needs to eat alot of grass to live, so for every mouse there is 10 grasses. Since 1 owl needs 10 mice, and 10 mice need 10 grasses each to live (10x10= 100) then there has to be 100 grasses to feed 1 owl, so you get this pyramid:

1

10

100
