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.

its pretty high on the food chain but it depends on the other animals

What is the food chain of bottlenose dolphin?

What is an example of a food web from the boreal forest?

If by food web, you mean food chain then this may help:

There is a very wide range of wildlife that inhabits a boreal forest, also known as coniferous forest.

Some animals that may be near the top include the Brown Bear, the Grey Wolf and the Northern Goshawk. In the middle you would find the stoat and the North American Porcupine. Finally, at the bottom you might find the slug and the Golden-Crowned Kinglet.

Bear in mind that these would not just follow down in order; porcupines do not eat birds as far as I know; they are just examples of what would be at the various stages of the food chain, not an actual one. I know this doesn't quite answer the question, but it's the best I can do.

I hope this helps a little!

Thank you

P.S. My main source here is the 'Animal' encyclopedia, a book which gives illustrated information on all living things except human beings, published by DK.

Is there a food chain of an adelie penguin?

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I'm quite certain there are a few animals that would eat penguins. Polar bears are right at the top, but I think that some of these others have a part in this: seals/sealions, whales and arctic foxes or wolves. Once again, sorry if this information is incorrect as I haven't much knowledge in the way of animal food chains.

i am sorry but wolves, as well as ar would not be eatingthe adelie penguins due to the fact that the penguins spend sic foxescto much time in the frigid waters, however there are sea lions and leopardseals that feed on the adelie penguins.

The first organism in a food chain is always an?

It is usually a plant. A herbivore or omnivore devours the plant, and a predator eats the herbivore/omnivore, starting and ending a food cycle, also called a food chain. Also, the sun grows the plant in which the animal eats. The first organism in a food chain is a plant or a organism that can photosynthesise. or... There is not a first organism in the food chain! :-)

What is the primary source of energy for a food web?

The primary source of energy for almost all food chains is the sun. The usual series is that the sun provides energy to plants that provide to other creatures. Some ecosystems rely on other energy sources however. For instance some deep ocean ecosystems rely on geothermal energy harvested by bacteria.

Why are hawks very important to us?

Hawks are very important to us for several reasons. Hawks are carnivorous birds, so they're strong enough to catch their preys. Firstly, this is a long explanation about the pest control. Snakes and rodents are nasty pests because snakes can bite people, which some species can be venomous enough for some people to die. Rodents are also very bad because they can gnaw at people, invade our house and wreck stuffs, destroy farm crops which triggers some famine to people, and some rodents can carry some nasty diseases, which can trigger a plague like the European Black Death in the mid-13th century. However, the hawk these nasty animals, including the snakes and rodents, so that it can save people to reduce the risk of snakebites and rodent plagues. Hawks are part of the snakebite and rodent control because they usually prey on these small nasty animals. Secondly, this partially connects to the first reason point. Hawks are part of the food chain, just like other animals, and hawk is typically an apex predator. If the hawks went extinct, there would be a chaos to the food chain. The hawk usually eat snakes, rodents, small mammals, etc. for their food diet. The hawk eat these things everyday in order to control their prey population. If the hawks went extinct, their prey would overpopulate because there'll be nothing to hunt them down. The snake and rodent overpopulation is especially more terrible because it'll increase the vulnerable frequency of more snakebites and rodent plagues, in which people would be in a huge danger.

That's why we shouldn't hunt hawks into extinction, otherwise we'll all terribly affect ourselves at the end.

What is the food chain of a mouse?

Plants - Primary animals (herbivores) - Secondary animals (carnivores) -Tertiary Animals(carnivores)

eg.Plant- Deer-Tiger-Vulture

Usually, many predators might be hogging over one type of food and inturn be eaten by various other animals, in a way forming a Food Web.

eg. flies are eaten by both lizards and frogs, both of which are a crows meal, which inturn may be some other organism's meal.

What is suger glider food chain?

The sugar glider food chain primarily consists of a variety of foods, as they are omnivorous. Their diet includes nectar from flowers, fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. In the ecosystem, they play a role as both herbivores and prey, consuming plant materials and being preyed upon by larger predators like birds of prey and snakes. Their feeding habits also contribute to pollination and seed dispersal, highlighting their ecological importance.

What happens to energy as we move from step to step in a food chain?

Some energy is lost at each level since not all energy is transferred from the food to the consumer.

How did DDT enter the food chain?

DDT entered the food chain because it was in the water of the fish that bald eagles ate.

Why are there seldom more that five trophic levels in a food chain?

In a food chain e.g, the energy comes from the sun which reaches the grass (producer), which is eaten by the rabbit (herbivore/prey) which eats some of the energy. The fox (predator/carnivore) eats the rabbit which the fox eats the remaining energy from the rabbit, as you can see there has been energy consumed and there is not enough energy to be consumedd further.

What is overlapping food chains called?

a food web. a food web consists of overlapping food chains

Where are hawks on the food chain?

Hawks are Primary Cosumers on the food chain, in that they prey upon smaller birds and animals but are not preyed upon themselves, except on rare occasions where they exist alongside much bigger birds of prey such as eagles, and are in competition with them for food.
