Food Chains and Food Webs
A food chain is a indicator of the producers and consumers of different habitats. Ask questions about the food chains of different ecosystems here.

Example of a food chain in the desert?
Desert foxes eat a bunch of things including berries,rodents,bugs,and small animals.If you own a desert fox and want to know what to feed it well don't worry.These type of foxes eat almost anything!
What would happen if all the spiders were removed from the food web?
If one or two organism were removed from the food web, then it would have a potentially big impact on the web e.g. maybe a bug species disappears, than all the predators that only rely on this type of bug will die of starvation, therefore all the predators of THAT predator will die too, because THEIR prey would be extinct
How does fishing affect the food chain?
if we fish too much they will come exstinkt and then the hole food chain will callaps
What would happen in a food chain if the consumers died?
If all the consumers in a food chain died, only the lowest rung of a food chain (the autonomic non-consumer) would survive.
Where are decomposers in a food web?
They are at the bottom of the food web since it is a fungi or moss.
What would happen to a food chain if there was an increase in the hawk population?
Hawk prey would decrease, and hawk predators would increase, making hawks decrease again. So to put it in context... Hawks eat mice, right? So the mouse population would increase, meaning more food for other animals that eat mice, like owls. So the owl population would increase, making mice decrease. Then animals that might eat hawks (I don't know if anything does) would increase, and eat all of the hawks then everything would eventually even out again.
To answer your question, lots of things will happen, but it will all even out again.
What do the levels of the food web represent?
Producers->plants
Consumers->herbivores
Secondary Consumers->carnivore that feeds on herbivores
Tertiary Consumers->feed on carnivores
Sun=energy source for producers
decomposers are the greatest in amount of biomass, serving as the foundation of the biomass pyramid.
Ordered by increasing biomass from lowest to highest by a total energy conversion being an average of 10% total energy conversion in each succeeding biomass classification. to understand this, pretend the decomposers have a biomass of 100,000, each level of biomass above decomposers, is divided by 10 to show approximate (obviously not nearly infallible) biomass value.
Decomposers X 100,000 (mushrooms, decomposing bacteria etc.)
producers X 10,000
consumers X 1,000
secondary consumers X 100
tertiary consumers X 10
there ya have it.. just rambled, hopefully this helped!
How do you make a food web with snake grass rabbit and leopard?
At the bottom would be the grass, and above it would be the rabbit. An arrow would point from the grass to the rabbit, showing that the rabbit eats the grass. Then the snake and leopard would be above the rabbit, and there would be two arrows pointing away from the rabbit (one toward the snake and one toward the leopard). This shows that the snake and the leopard eat the rabbit. There could also be an arrow pointing from the snake to the leopard (although it is rare for leopards to actually eat snakes, they do have a varied diet and would eat a snake).
What effect did removing the prey have on predators?
- addddfddffdfffffffrrrrrrrdddddddffffffffvffffffffffff
How do you identify the components of a food chain in an ecosystem?
primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, quaterary consumer.
What is the bottom of the food chain on land?
All living things depend on each other to live. The food chain shows how some animals eat other animals to survive. While being food for animals higher in the food chain, these animals may eat other animals or plants to survive. The food chain is a complex balance of life. If one animals source of food disappears, such as from over fishing or hunting, many other animals in the food chain are impacted and may die. Let's look at two examples of food chains, one in the water and the other on land.
In the SeaAll sea creatures rely on other sea creatures for food to survive. At the bottom of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton. Many types of fish and animals such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton.
The small animals and fish who eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackeral.
These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin.
And who eats the shark? Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don't be surprised if you find shark on the menu.
On LandThe food chain on land is just as complex as in the sea. Small animals eat plants or bugs. Larger animals then eat them, with even larger animals eating them. Who is at the top of the food chain? That's us! We humans eat many of the plants and animals on earth. That's why we rely so heavily on all plants and animals for our existance. A break in the food chain can impact everyone.
Here is a simple example of a food chain in the wild.
Can the green lacewing eat house spiders?
A spider which has made it's home across half of my bedroom window (kudos for effort, spider!) caught a shield bug yesterday. It wrapped it up and dragged it to the top of the web which was out of my view, so whilst I am unsure if it actually ate it, it certainly had a go.
What are the tropic levels in a food chains?
Please rephrase your question. I fail to understand what you wish to know.
What organisms in a food chain have the least available energy?
Think of it this way. The sun is the source of energy. It is where ALL energy comes from the sun and is used by everything, however plants are the only things that can use its energy directly to make energy are plants.
After that, everything uses some of the energy. Plants use the energy from the sun, then the organisms that eat the plants use some of the energy. Things that eat the things that eat the plants use more of the energy, yet receives less energy from what actually started with at the bottom.
Long story short, at the "top"
Where is the plesiosaur in the food chain?
Well, T-Rex is Among the Top 5 Dinosaur Predators of all time, along with:
Gigantosaurus
Spinosaurus
Allosaurus
Herrerasaurus (for its time, but if it was all in all, then Carchardontosaurus)
Why is pollination important to the food chain?
Insects help to pollinate plants, which can save quite a bit of money for certain farmers.
Can you show you a food web with a koala in it?
It's really hard to find a picture of a kangaroo food web. I searched through 20 google pages, NOTHING! I suggest researching and making your own.
