Food Chains and Food Webs

this is an example of a food chain. or the lion is a secondary consumer, which eats (primary consumers) which would be the zebra the zebra eat's (primary producers or autoroph) which would be grass. :)

A food chain represents how an animal eats a smaller animal.

organisms use some of the energy for life processes

Insects describe what nine-spotted ladybugs eat. The insects in question (Coccinella novemnotata) particularly favor such homopteran farm and garden pests as aphids and scales. They tend to be beloved as the New York state insect since 1989 and prioritized as among the victims of eastern North America's introductions of competitive native and non-native lady beetle species and reforestation, with agricultural activities moving to the Midwest.

Krill are very small crustaceans of the sea that eat even smaller creatures, called phytoplankton. Krill are called a keystone species because they provide food for a large number of larger animals. If the krill were to disappear, so would all the creatures that eat them. The animals that eat krill are baleen whales, manta rays, whale sharks, many species of seals, fish, and seabirds.

Scavengers are an important part of the food web because they clean up the environment. Imagine a lion which is a carnivore hunts its prey and is feasting on it, they only eat the good parts they do not eat every part of the animal. They leave the rest of the animal to decompose. The scavenger comes along like a hyena and will eat the remains of the dead animal. Less dead animals rotting in the Earth the better the environment is.

bean plant or any plants in general are producers in food chain

Because people live in scientific stations, they would eat foods transported in from their native countries or the nearby country from which they embark onto the ice.

For example, at McMurdo Station, food stuffs included frozen meat, chicken, fish, and canned fruits and vegetables. Potatoes, milk, onions and flour were also shipped in. Condiments, cooking greases and oil and so forth that Navy chefs needed in their recipes.

Fresh food during the summer was shipped in from New Zealand and included fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and cheeses.

The British station, Rothera, on the South America side of Antarctica ship in foodstuffs from England and from Argentina.

The role of food has many uses for medicinal values and nutritional uses. Hot red pepper, for example, can be used both medicinally and nutritionally. Medically it can be used topically as a cream for pain relief. Nutritionally, if eaten it is a digestive aid for weight loss.

It makes fun of actions by a government

those energy that doesn't advance for one level of the food chain to the next aren't stored, they represent the energy used by the animal as it lives. for example , a grass hopper eats 5 kg of grasses his whole life wont give the same amount of energy as it gets eaten. he has to use energy as he grows as he mates as he jumps as he lives every day. those energy aren't stored in any way, these energy are used by merely living and surviving.

WikiAnswers does not provide facilities to draw things for you.

A food chain always starts with a producer (a plant) and then connects the different animals that eat that plant and in turn get eaten. The dung of the animals then goes back to fertilise the plants.

the king cobra has these glands in its mouth so when it flicks its tongue their is these molecules that the snake catches these it can sense the food it wants to eat

they are usually a primary or secondary consumer depending on what living things are in the food chain/web they are herbivores as well.

As a general rule of thumb, a secondary consumer can only utilize 10% of the energy that the primary consumer yields. As you progress through the tiers, 100% becomes 10% and 10% becomes 1% until the energy distribution is so small that it is no longer relevant.

All the interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem make up a food web. Food webs consist of many food chains.

because energy has to travel up the food chain, and by the 9th link there is very little energy for the animal to use

A food Chain is a large group of animals that eat one another.

Example:

A lizard eats a cricket.

A snake eats the lizard that ate the cricket.

An alligator eats the snake the ate the lizards that ate the cricket.

And ect.

== == The Decomposer always comes last because when the animal dies the decomposer decomposes it. A normal food chain would be something like: sun energy> grass> cow> human> decomposing bacteria The decomposer/detritus feeder always breaks down waste (being excrement or dead matter) in an ecosystem so that buildup won't be a problem.

Yes it is it is the same thing

A food chain is made from producers, consumers, and decomposers.

producers- any kind of plants

consumers- herbivores, omnivores, carnivores

decomposers- break down waste and put nutrients back in the soil

Plants (and some protists and bacteria) take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make glucose through photosynthesis. They are then eaten by other organisms that break down the glucose for energy and carbon building blocks. Glucose is only in the food chain when the producer is eaten. The energy and matter is then passed on from the consumer in other chemical forms as they are eaten.

Food chains and food webs are representations of the predator-prey relationships between species within an ecosystem or habitat.

Many chain and web models can be applicable depending on habitat or environmental factors.Every known food chain has a base made of autotrophs, organisms able to manufacture their own food (e.g. plants, chemotrophs).
