Food Chains and Food Webs

A series of overlapping food chains would create a food web.

You can analyze how much energy is consumed by an animal in the food web by the power of ten. It's really simple, actually. A fly has to get 100 grams of energy. It uses ninety for itself, and the other ten goes to the animal that consumes it. Say a spider eats that fly. The spider also needs 100 grams. So, if it gets ten grams from that one fly, it needs to eat nine other flies to reach its energy need for that day. And whatever eats the spider needs to eat nine other spiders to reach its energy need. It continues like this for the whole web.

It starts it. The vegetation is eaten by the herbivores, which are eaten by the omnivores, ect.

Food

Scientist predicts that if the global warming continuous on its phase Earth's temperature will reach in what they call "the point of no return" in which in the intense heat, plants which we called producer will die out rapidly from every part of the world. dead plants releases carbon dioxide and many other gases as it decays. these green house gases will further fuel the increase in temperature thus the earth is lock in to killing more plants and producing more greenhouse gases. this process will definitely destroy the food chain as it deletes the start of it. which is the plants or the producer. not to mention, dead and dry leaves can make a very deadly forest fire which will both kill all parts of the food chain and elevate global warming.

thanks discovery channel for me....

The "garbage" like dead plant and animal parts would build up, and nitrogen wouldn't be returned to the soil eventually killing everything. And fairly quickly too. We would not have enough food because there is alot of waste that is being left by living things. Without food and clean air to breath in, we will die. That is why we should not kill animals and decomposers for meat and food or else there will be very little of everything and we will die.

Omnivores that eat both plants and animals are both a primary and secondary consumer.

yes,because farmers produce plants and hunters consume and hunt other animals

well of course first all the animals will become endangered . Then one species at a time all the animals will die off of hunger.

Global warming and climate change (caused by burning fossil fuels) has had impacts on various animals around the world. Like drastic weather destroys habitats of wolves prey, or migration patterns change. Ya know the whole global warming thing is screwing up everything...

Not really sure if this is what you're looking for , but I would say energy from the sun, leading to the producers (i.e. plants) then the animals that eat the producers etc etc the energy is given to the plants firstly and then eventually gets passed on through each animal the last animal on the food web has less energy than the pklants as it has been condensed

Ants dont smell in the conventional sense of the word. Their antennae are chemical receptors that can detect changes in their surroundings from pheromones that other ants excrete. This is usually from their feet so that when they walk about they leave a trail others can follow on. If there is something interesting at the end of the trail it is used more often so the trail has more aroma so more ants follow it. this follows the runaway principle where one route is embraced and other less well used routes are forgotten about in time. However it the trail is lost ants will often start following others near them. This can often lead to circles of ants following each other getting smaller and smaller until they all starve to death.

the steps are known as trophic levels as move down the levels energy from the organisms tends to be lost to the environment

primary, as it eats plants, get's eaten by bigger fish which in turn get eaten by bigger fish or man

the difference between the food chain and the food web is the food chain is the linear transfer of energy from one organism to the next. And the food web is the complex interconnecting food chains in a community.

Then people in the deserts will have no where to move there things because camels are used as transportation...in the deseart

The red fox is a secondary consumer and is both predator and prey.

The plant.

I will answer this question on the basis that you know what a food web is. Well, for those who do not, it is a food chain but encompassing a system rather than focusing on an organism.

The ultimate source of energy would be PLANTS! Plants that can generate their own food through nutrients from the soil and with aid from water and sunlight all of which being non living things and thus we conclude as herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat herbivores and other carnivores and plants who generate their own food eat none of the above they are the ultimate source of energy that you would consider in a food web.

I am not sure you would consider sunlight as part of the food-web and thus conclude that the sun is the ultimate source of energy, but from what I learnt when I was younger was that PLANTS are the ultimate source of energy.

Algae, a microrganism (a tiny organism) serves as food for small aquantic creatures such as krill and shrimp, and these small organisms serve as food for larger animals such as whales and manitees. Basically, algae serves as food for small animals, and these animals serve as food for large animals, which keeps the food chain balanced, with the provider, in this case the algae, at the bottom, and the primary (manitees) and secondary (whales) consumers are at the middle and the top.

He is unreliable leading readers to question what he is saying. 🦍🌲🌲🌲🦍

Even if a prey species reproduces incredibly fast ,this will just mean more food for the predators. More food for predators usually translates into more predators and more mouths to feed.

If this doesn't balance out the predator or the prey species die off but if it does balance out it is usually because the predators need a lot of time to find the prey or actually eat them, like if they had to guard their meal against scavengers.
