Food Chains and Food Webs

Owls

There are advantages of organisms being part of a food web. The organisms can have more than one predator and it will be in a food web. If the organism eats plants it can be in a food web because more than one organism eats plants.

There are no disadvantages oforganisms being in a food web. I know this because the advantages oforganisms beingin a food web is.........

1. you are a decomposer (and you eatdifferent types of dead organisms).

2. you eat more than one type of animal.

3. you eat plants.

4. you are a plant (producer).

5. you have more than one predator.

I know for a fact that an organism at least has one of these advantages, so there are no disadvantages.

Other snakes, lizards, birds, rats.

They help with overflow of plants, vital for the food web, and are, well, sometimes needed to survive in wilderness areas -when there is no food (they're sometimes good to eat you know).

Also, without them, the whole food chain would get messed up and there would be too much grass and the animals that eat rabbits would then die of. The animal who ate that animal would die off and more animals would become extinct.

hawks are predators and territorial they need large territories to hunt so you see less of them

Spider monkeys eat nuts and fruits that grow on large trees. They are hunted down by leopards, pumas, ocelots, and sometimes large birds of prey.

they dont eat...theyre bacteria they dont eat...theyre bacteria

The term "kangaroo" covers over 60 species of macropods, so it varies.

Most kangaroos are herbivores but all species have both natural and introduced predators. Dingoes and wedgetail eagles are predators of kangaroos. Introduced predators such as foxes, wild dogs and feral cats are a threat to joeys. Smaller kangaroos, such as wallabies, rat-kangaroos (not kangaroo rats), potoroos, pademelons and bettongs are preyed upon by quolls and pythons.

Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles, so they occupy a different position in the food dhain.

OK so first the big HUGE fish bite off your fingers and toes and eat it. Then the little fish eat the poo of the big fish. When the little fish die from eating so much disgusting waste their dead carcase floats to the top of the water. When you go swimming in a lake, the dead bodies of fish gets disintegrated into your body. I know its nasty but that's how it all works out.

A beaver is a primary consumer, meaning it eats producers like plants and trees. But it may be eaten by secondary consumers, like wolves. So in this case, the food chain would look like this:

Trees > Beavers > Wolves.

(Producer) > (Primary Consumer) > (Secondary Consumer)

This food chain is part of a greater more complex web. This web will include all of the many types of producers that the beavers eat.

Most beavers tend to munch all sorts of plant food since they're quite adventurous and opportunistic herbivores. However, in winter time when vegetation is scarce, they make a meagre diet out of soft, wet wood that they keep stored in their little beaver dens.

Beavers are mostly nocturnal creatures, and being the second largest rodents in the world, they don't have many predators to worry about, apart from adventurous bears and wolves, or even bad-ass eagles. In addition, they're semi-aquatic creatures and therefore swan around in water away from land-predators.

A winning habit of the rodents is to work by night, and sleep in a safe burrow during day. This is a strategy which helped their ancestors survive the dinosaurs.

Although their position in the food-web may not be very interesting. The dams they build have great influence to their surrounding environment. Beavers may therefore have an indirect effect to other food chains that they aren't a part of.

The life at the top of the food chain eats the life at the bottom of the food chain. In order for this process to continue (instead of ending in starvation), the animals at the top of the food chain must be fewer in number than those lower down in the food chain.

sharks play important role in the ecosystem and without them our ocean would be toxic and filled with sick and dying fish. Sharks are at the top of the food chain so without them the whole ocean ecosystem would fall apart

Carnivores eat herbivores, but they also eat omnivores, which is another category that combines the herbivore and the carnivore. Certainly there would be much less food available to carnivores if all the herbivores were gone, and the number of carnivores would decrease, but as long as there are still omnivores, then there is the opportunity for some carnivores to continue to exist. For example, we human beings are omnivores, and even if all the herbivores were to disappear, we would find a way to continue to feed our pet dogs and cats, which are carnivores. Pigs are also omnivores, so presumably we would still have them as farm animals and food sources.

the snow leopards are located under men on the food chain. As everyone knows, man is at the top of the food chain.

the food chain is made up of producer,primary consumer,secondary consumer and tertiary consumer

Hawks are near the top in the food chain, as an avian predator.

It displays the percentage of energy that is passed on from one animal or plant to the next through consumption.

Approximately 10% of the energy in grass is passed on to a cow. Approximately 10% of the energy of a cow is passed onto humans, when they consume cow.

The cheetah is a meat eater, a carnivore. It preys on different smaller antelope, the young of the gnu or zebra, and an occasional bird or hare. All of the cheetah's prey eat plants.Cheetahs mainly eat antelope and smaller animals like hares and birds like guinea fowl and partridge.
cheetah eats deer

explain the principles of a food chain

A secondary consumer in a food web is the carnivorous or omnivorous animal that feeds on the primary consumer, which is the organism (normally a plant) that eats the producer (normally a plant).

Plant-like protists are very important to the aquatic food chain because they produce an abundant amount of oxygen.

dosent give u answer sometimes

Raccoons eat a wide variety of plant and animal matter. The eat many insects, earthworms, grubs, crayfish, snails, slugs, mice and other small rodents, fish, frogs, snakes, lizards, as well as fruits, nuts and berries. Of course, they also love to rummage through trash cans looking for edibles and also enjoy eating pet food left outside.
