Food Chains and Food Webs

They all have a flow of energy. The amount of energy available decreases as the food chain increases.

If an animal dies, it affects your food chain; because more animals will die and in the end all the food will run out for predators if they eat to much prey. If you are human it will also affect your food chain because you need meat in your diet.

In a food chain, an autotroph, like a plant, produces its own food through photosynthesis. Herbivores, like rabbits, eat plants. Omnivores, like humans, consume both plants and animals. The relationships show the flow of energy through the food chain, with each organism relying on the one before it for sustenance.

As a human, I am a member of a food chain that includes plants, such as fruits and vegetables, which I consume as food. I also consume animals, such as cows, pigs, and chickens, that have been raised for meat. Ultimately, I am part of the food chain through my consumption of various plants and animals for sustenance.

Some examples of omnivores in Africa include hyenas, baboons, and humans. These animals have a diet that consists of both plant-based foods and meat. They are adaptable and can thrive in diverse habitats.

Yes,bcoz sunlight helps in photosynthesis process in plants to make their food,and we know plant is an important part of food chain.so,Sun is also a part of food chain.

Another person: yes because without it, we would all DIE.

A food web with a robin may include the robin feeding on insects like worms and beetles, while also being preyed upon by predators such as hawks or snakes. The robin itself may be part of a larger ecosystem with various other organisms interacting through feeding relationships.

I have an authoritative book on owls that claims that "Roe Deer" (a very small deer in Europe) have been eaten by a Great Horned Owl (or their version of that owl). It didn't say whether it was a juvenile or injured deer.

Many owls swallow prey whole and regurgitate a pellet later, but they are quite happy to eat the traditional way... tear the animal apart w/ the beak and eat just the flesh.

a lion falls at the top of the food web,no questions asked.

it is also a top predator

Decomposers are typically at the bottom of the food chain or ecological pyramid because they break down organic matter from dead organisms into simpler substances, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. They play a crucial role in maintaining nutrient cycles.

A dog is a carnivorous mammal related to the wolf. While dogs typically live in mutualistic relationships with humans, when forced to hunt, they will do so in packs, and usually eat primary consumers /herbivores. This means that theoretically, a dog is a secondary consumer.

Hunting can disrupt a food web by removing predators or prey species from the ecosystem, causing imbalances in population sizes and affecting the overall structure of the community. Overhunting can lead to a decline in certain species, which can have cascading effects on other species that depend on them for food or as part of a competitive relationship. Additionally, hunting can impact the behavior of species, leading to changes in their interactions with other organisms in the food web.

Producers in an ocean food web are organisms, such as phytoplankton and seaweed, that can produce their own energy through photosynthesis. They form the base of the food web by converting sunlight into organic matter, which is then consumed by other organisms.

Yes, ladybugs get along with other bugs. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) tend to view their habitat niches in terms of what can and cannot be eaten. Popular food sources will include such bugs as aphids, mealybugs, and scale.

Bumblebees are primary consumers that feed on nectar and pollen from flowers. They play a crucial role in pollination, which is essential for the reproduction of many plants. In turn, bumblebees are preyed upon by various predators such as birds, spiders, and other insects in the food chain.

The largest animal food chain is the oceanic food chain, which begins with phytoplankton as the primary producers and extends to top predators like sharks and killer whales. These food chains can be long and complex, with numerous species interacting and depending on each other for survival.

The pygmy rabbit first eats the grass.. Then a weasel hunt it.. The weasel gets eaten by a fox. Later on, the fox gets eaten by a coyote. And lastly, the coyote gets eaten by a carnivore such as a panther or a lion.

well first woodland creatures are different from pond creatures second you wouldn't see pond creature go out of water to go to a woodland environment nor would you see a woodland creature like a chipmunk come out of it's woodland home to enter a ponds food chain

In a food chain, 'a' represents the relationship where one organism is consumed as food by another organism. This shows the flow of energy through the ecosystem as it passes from one level to another.

Food and shelter are two characteristics which flowers use to attract pollinating animals, especially insects. Food is offered through nectar and pollen, and shelter is supplied to insects that need to lay eggs in safety.

Yes, snails are detrivores as they mainly feed on decaying plant material, algae, and dead animals. They play an essential role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients in their environment.

A piping plover's food web includes insects such as beetles and flies as primary food sources. They may also feed on crustaceans like small crabs and mollusks found along coastal habitats. The piping plover itself serves as prey for larger birds like gulls and crows.

Alligators are at the top of the food chain in their ecosystems as apex predators. They feed on a variety of prey, including fish, birds, mammals, and other reptiles. Only a few animals, like larger alligators and humans, are known to prey on adult alligators.

Humans are omnivores and can occupy different trophic levels in the food web. As consumers, we primarily consume plants and animals, but as apex predators, we also have the ability to influence the populations of other species. Our impact on the food web extends beyond just being consumers, as our activities can lead to disruptions in the balance of ecosystems.

• Level 1: Plants and algae make their own food and are called primary producers.
• Level 2: Herbivores eat plants and are called primary consumers.
• Level 3: Carnivores which eat herbivores are called secondary consumers.
• Level 4: Carnivores which eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.
• Level 5: which have no predators are at the top of the food chain
• Level 6: Which is us because we are top top predator of every food chain
