Food Chains and Food Webs

Grass is eaten by a zebra. That zebra is eaten by a Lion. A leaf is eaten by a grasshopper. That grasshopper is eaten by a snake. That snake is eaten by an eagle. A carrot is eaten by a rabbit. That rabbit is eaten by a hawk.

There are a couple of main routes: * A bug would absorb the pesticide, and be eaten (before or shortly after death) by a bird or other insectivore. That animal would then absorb whatever of the pesticide the bug hadn't metabolised or ejected. From there, it would be passed on through the food chain as normal, the amount of poison transferred lowering bit by bit - assuming that no animals in the chain ate any more infected bugs or plants, as below. * A plant may absorb the chemicals from the ground or air, following its release. The plants may be eaten by bugs and insects and follow the above course, or they may be eaten by herbivores like cattle and sheep. There on, same as usual; some gets broken up, some gets tossed out, but some carries on to whatever eats the herbivore, and some again to whatever eats that predator. Either way, the pesticide is passed on like every other chemical in a food chain; part is used by the animal at each stage, part is excreted as waste (possibly to rejoin the cycle later) and part is then consumed by the next stage. And so on ad nauseam or until all of the poison is destroyed or altered.

If a food chain loses an organism, it creates an imbalance and disruption in the food chain. For example, if a species of bird becomes extinct, the insect population can grow dramatically which creates problems for other creatures.

The golden eagle hunts it food by soaring over it and watching for it. They have very good eyesight. The Golden Eagle hunts its larger prey (deer,goats etc.) by grabbing them with their talons and dragging them off a cliff and dropping them.

Plant sap is what boxelder bugs eat. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) possess piercing, sipping mouthparts. They therefore seek the photosynthetically created nutrients of the downward-flowing phloem and the soluble minerals of the upward-flowing xylem channels which function inside plants and may be accessed through flowers, leaves, seeds, stems, and stalks of ash (Fraxinus) and maple (Acer) trees.

I think the second biggest fast food chain is Burger King as the first fast food chain is Mc Donalds

It is said that Nigiri-zushi was invented by Yohe HANAYA of 'Yohe's Sushi,' or by Matsugoro SAKAIYA of 'Matsu no Sushi' (commonly called name; original name of shop was Isago Sushi).

It depends. A food chain could be fairly long with about four or five steps in it, or a food chain could have just two.

Any animal (or person) that eats both plants and other animals is called an omnivore. If they only eat plants, we like to call them vegetarians but the scientific name is herbivore. Humans normally eat both plants and meat.

Three things are possible

* They get oxidized (in the broad sense of the word) and lose their particular chemical character * They dissipate to non-toxic levels as the come in contact with more environment. * They become more concentrated if they have an affinity for particular organs or environments.

the amount of energy available decreases with the addition of each link.

Amphibians, arachnids, birds, fungi, insects, parasites and reptiles are predators of ladybugs. Arachnids include mites and spiders while assassin bugs, other ladybugs, and stink bugs number among predatory insects. Frogs and toads represent amphibian predators of ladybugs while anoles serve as reptilian examples.

the reason is that as you go through the chain or web your energy that being passed or passing it gets smaller because you waste some of your energy and with each organisms get a little from each consumer it eats. also the herbivore get the most energy from the producers since producer get energy from the sun (which has the most energy)

Corn, peppers and squashes are foods that are native to the Americas and are associated with the Native American cultures. Chocolate is native to Mexico, but was not associated with the northern Native Americans. The American Buffalo, or bison was and continues to be associated with the U.S. and Canada.

Hamburgers and hot dogs are as far as I know. They're considered all American foods, so that's why we eat them on 4th of July.

The food chain is actually a loop. Bunny eats carrot, cheetah eats bunny, maggots eat cheetah (after death), soil absorbs maggots, carrots absorbs soil, bunny eats carrot ... it goes round and round.

The closest thing you could say is that cheetahs are at the top of the predatory food chain.

Function f left parenthesis x right parenthesis represents the population of bacteria x hours after 9 a.m. What does f left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis minus f left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis represent?

Its a Food Web

Orangutans are omnivores which puts them in the middle of the food chain, they eat leaves, shoots, bark, insects, honey, bird eggs, and fruit. Orangutans are eaten by tigers, leopards, wild dogs, and crocodiles.

producer<--- primary consumer<--- secondary consumer<--- tirtiary consumer

Then the whole food web would be thrown off balance.

If a certain population of animals died then the predators that would prey on them would probably die of hunger, and the animals that would be prayed on by thepopulation of animals that died out would over poplate and use up there food resources and die of starvation.

Short answer :A the whole foodchain would be affected in a bad way.It would be out of balance.

Food chain is defined as the feeding relationships between species to another within an ecosystem. Organisms are connected to the organisms they consume by arrows representing the direction of biomass transfer. Typically a food chain or food web refers to a graph where only connections are recorded, and a food network or ecosystem network refers to a network where the connections are given weights representing the quantity of nutrients or energy being transferred.
