What is the Numbat's place in the food chain?
In their natural environment numbats are not the main food source of any particular animal, but snakes, birds of prey, foxes and feral cats will eat numbats.
But given that numbats are not the main source of food of snakes, birds, foxes or cats, then numbats are number one, the top level of the three-level numbat to vegetation (consumer to producer) food chain:-
- numbat
- termites
- vegetation
What happens if a pest attacks a banana plant?
Damage, decline, and disease are what happens when pests attack banana plants.
Specifically, the flowering herbaceous plant in question (Musa spp) can be attacked above- or below-ground. Insects, mites and worms count among the banana plant's most voracious pests. For example, aphids and weevils communicate bacterial/fungal infections and viral diseases by breaking into the plant's structures (leaves in terms of sap-sucking aphids, roots and stems with regard to burrowing, egg-laying weevils). Spider and two-spotted mites leave insufficiently hydrated banana plants with damaged, purple- or red-tipped fruits. Nematodes obstruct the up-and-down flow of watered nutrients and sugars by burrowing below-ground.
Correct soil pH, proper irrigation, and sanitation help to eliminate or minimize the impact of the above-mentioned pests (and others like them).
What type of food system is gelatine?
Gelatin is a protein extracted from bone and cartilage by boiling.
What happens when the food chain and food web gets interrupted?
All the animals will die. If the producer in a habitat dies , the herbivores will have nothing to eat and will die .The predators also having nothing to eat will die. If the predator dies, the herbivores will increase in number. But the producer cannot produce enough to feed all herbivores. Thus, they will all die. . This means all animals depend on each other for a complete food chain or food web.
What part did the Javan Tiger play in the food web?

What is the foundation of the food web in estuaries?
Estuary food webs begin with the conversion of the sun's energy to food energy by plants and plankton.
Does any animal eat blackthorn?
Yes, animals eat blackthorn. The woody plant in question (Prunus spinosa) produces oval-shaped leaves, tart-tasting drupes, and white flowers. Its above-ground parts therefore serve to feed such animals as badgers, brown and black hairstreak butterflies (Lycaenidae family), foxes, and nightingales.
Why do environmental scientists favor the term food web oppose to food chain?
FOOD CHAINS FOLLOW A SINGLE PATH AS ANIMALS EAT EACH OTHER.
EXAMPLE:
THE SUN feeds GRASS (which is eaten by) a GRASSHOPPER (which is eaten by) a FROG (which is eaten by) a SNAKE (which is eaten by) a HAWK.
---- FOOD WEBS SHOW HOW PLANTS & ANIMALS ARE INTERCONNECTED BY DIFFERENT PATHS.
EXAMPLE:
TREES produce acorns which act as food for many MICE and INSECTS. Because there are many MICE, the WEASELS and SNAKES have food. The insects and the acorns also attract BIRDS, SKUNKS, and OPOSSUMS. With the SKUNKS, OPPOSUMS, WEASELS and MICE around, HAWKS, FOXES, and OWLS can find food. They are all connected!
FOOD WEBS show how plants and animals are connected in many ways to help them all survive. FOOD CHAINS follow just one path of energy as animals find food.
What animals eat water lilies?
Turtles and koi will eat water lilies. Dogs and raccoons will break the pots that water lilies grow in and cause damage. Aphids and snails also cause damage to water lilies.
