Food Chains and Food Webs

Phytoplankton is eaten by Zooplankton. Zooplankton is eaten by Krill, Squid, and Cod. Krill is eaten by Penguins which are eaten by Leopard seals, which also eat Cod. Leopard Seals, Killer Whales, and Elephant Seals eat squid. Killer Whales eat Elephant Seals and Leopard Seals as well.

Food chains interact because an organism can be in more than one food chain. When this happens, it is also called a food web. Ex.for food chain: plankton gets eaten by fish, fish get eaten by dolphins. Ex.fir food web: birds and squirells ear sunflower seeds, the birds get eaten by foxes, coyotys, eagles and hawks. Back on the squirells side, it gets eaten by foxes, coyotys, and eagles too.

that living organisms directly or indirectly are dependent on each other(plants and animals) for food.

like humans are dependant on both these things.many animals eat plants and ,many eat animals.many also eat both.so there is a balance.if any of the organism of food chain is disturbed there would be ecological problems.

There are dinosaurs in all three categories. Dinosaurs were an incredibly diverse group of animals. However, there are far fewer varieties of dinosaur omnivores than either herbivores or carnivores.

For example:

Two Herbivorous Dinosaurs: Triceratops and Ankylosaurus

Two Carnivorous Dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus Rex and Allosaurus

Two Omnivorous Dinosaurs: Ornithomimus and Heterodontosaurus

an example of a food web would be:

Crabs, Shrimp, Manatees, Planton all eat vegetation

seagulls eat crabs

seal eats plankton

great white sharks eat manatees

small tooth sawfish, dolphin eat shrimp

hawks, great white sharks, orca eat seagulls

great white shark, orca eat seal

great white sharks eat small tooth sawfish

orca eat dolphin

Chickens, ducks, geese, and guinea hens are the kinds of birds that eat box elder bugs. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) does not tend to attract raptors or songbirds since its orange coloration warns of unpleasant smells and tastes. But a desperate, famished bird will join the ranks of the above-mentioned box elder bug predators regardless of Mother Nature's warnings.

Actually, they are not. Water and sunlight, though useful, are not at all necessary to sustain life, as there are acceptable substitutes. For instance, you could go your whole life drinking milk instead of water. This is actually beneficial, since water is a nonrenewable resource, whereas milk can be found on the shelves of most grocery stores. Milk, as you might ask, is not abiotic. Scientists have recently discovered that milk is a living organism capable of survival based on nothing but feeding on happiness. Think of milk as a dementor, but edible. Furthermore, oxygen, which is abiotic, is not necessary. In fact, it slowly poisons you as you age, and is the reason for death by "old age".

A food web is a series of food chains linked together. Their purpose is to show how energy transfers itself through an ecosystem, or some sort of environment.

Food webs are divided into different "levels" which consist of at least one living organism - producers (like plants and trees) count.

Arrows (or some sort of indication) point from lower levels to higher levels (never vice-versa) - which indicate the flow of energy between the two living organisms.

Together with the organisms in the levels, and the arrows showing the flow of energy between the levels, a food web is created.

The different levels have a special name

first-order consumers also known as primary consumers

second-order consumers also known as secondary consumers

third-order consumers also known as ( I don't really know what to call this one xD)

A Flamingo eats brine shrimp and blue green algae, plants at the bottom of a river or pond and other little fish and creatures on the sand bed floor. The flamingos feathers are pink because brine shrimp bare reddish orangey colour. A flamingo will sooner then be eaten by ferel pigs and other large animals. Hope that helps. :D

Animals and plants are always invovled in a food chain.

A food chain is a series of plants and animals each of which is eaten as food by the one above in the series.

Humans are at the top of the food chain when only considering plants, or animals which humans kill and eat. However, the food chain can quickly change when a human puts him or herself too close to an alligator, shark, or any large, hungry predator.

Deforestation affects the food web because it alters the habitat and ecosystem of the organisms. Let's say a squirrel was living in a forest that was just deforested. Assuming it didn't get killed, it now wouldn't have a home because it lives in a tree. Also, it wouldn't have much of a food supply because it eats products from the trees (pine cones). Likely it would either move away, die, or be eaten because it doesn't have a shelter anymore.

Elephants eat grass and leaves. They enjoy the juicy taste of tree sap and will often strip bark off a tree or uproot the tree altogether to get to the sap. The only real predator for elephants are humans.

There are scientific papers that demonstrate that mice harbor a bacteria which is released in their urine which is fatal to elephants (hence elephants are mortally fearful of mice).

If an elephant gets very old or very sick, the only wild animal which is theoretically strong enough to pull it down is (in Asia) a Tiger or (in Africa) a Lion. It is also said some (in Asia) tigers and (in Africa) lions will attack an elephant if it gets angry enough.

Yes. The species Homo sapiens has always hunted since it first appeared 2.5 million years ago.

Mostly owls, snakes, lions, etc. Usually carnivores are on top of the food web.

this is easy the prairie dog eats the alfalfa and he hawk eats the praire dog

The base of the food chain determines the number of levels above it. The first level needs to use about 90% of the energy that they make for themselves for growing and reproducing. That leaves 10% for the next level. That level uses 90% of that 10% for growth and reproduction. That means that only 1% of that can go up for the next level to use. Only in a very few ecosystems (tropical rain forests or temperate rain forests) is there even enough another level.

1. Is the

sun, grass, plant, trees, leaves, proboscis monkey

We were given what was called Parrish Food during the war, it was a rather thick liquid brown/red color. Also we had Cod Liver Oil and Malt, just as it sounds, the malt was just like caramel toffee, it helped the cod liver oil go down. We lined up each night before bed time, we had hot Horllcks and then these tonics. Supposed to help our nutritional needs while food was rationed.

Hawks, owls, coyotes, foxes, bears, racoons, snakes, and about any other predator larger than itself.

It depends where you live, which animals eat rabbits.

The anteater is eaten by many carnivorous animals such as lions, jaguars, and panthers.

It would throw it out of balance

Producers are only plants. Producers produce food. Some examples of producers are: Trees, bushes, fruits, vegetables and MUCH more!

Humans are better in almost every way. Some peregrine falcons defecate near their babies. This puts them in a real bad way. Thus, a pergalim falkim is much waeker than a human bean. And thus, a human can easily catch a baby falcin and set it into a boilin pot.

That ultimately depends on how big the food web is (how many chains were linked together to create the web). There must always be more than one, though, to keep a food web (and the ecosystem(s) it describes) alive.
