What does a food chain and food web show?

a food web is a series of organisms related by predator- prey and consumer- resource interactions; the entirety of interrelated food chains in a ecological community.

Also Known as a food cycle

What you think happens to a food chain when one part of it is removed or eliminated?

The whole food wed would be disturbed. That is because organisms feeding on that organism would not have enough food, and their numbers would decrease. Organisms feeding on that second organism wouldn't have enough food, and their numbers would also decrease. In other words, NOT GOOD.

What is the food chain of the polar region?

Mostly fish, although in polar regions that are short of the Poles themselves (i.e. Lapland, the far North of Russia etc.) they also eat reindeer meat. Vegetables are hard to grow in polar areas, but there are some hardy types of root crop and also wild berries that can be cultivated. Seals are not usually eaten because of their high quantity of blubber, and whales are a protected species, as are Polar bears, so it is illegal under international law to catch these.

Who are the producers in a food chain?

Plants and Algae as they produce chemical energy from light energy (the sun) through photosynthesis.

What importance do brime shrimp have in the food chain?

they live in salt lakes and eat plankton that grows there truning the lake red. when it gets too salty they lay billions of eggs which blow up on the shores as thelake dries. These can be stored and then hatched later and used as food in aquaria and shrimp hatcheries.

Most of the energy input in a food chain is?

Energy starts by arriving at earth from the sun. Plants use photosynthesis to absorb the energy (in the form of sunlight). Plants use this energy to grow and stay alive. When a herbivore (a plant-eating animal) eats this plant, the energy in the plant (now in the form of simple sugars) is absorbed by the animal, which uses it to move around, to keep warm, to make it's lungs breathe and heart pump, etc. Next, a carnivore (an animal-eating animal) eats the herbivore, and the energy (in the form of more complex sugars and proteins) is absorbed by this animal, which uses it in the same way as the herbivore.

Is a bean plant a producer consumer or decomposer?

All producers are green, at least some part of them are. The tops of carrots fit this definition.

How does the bald eagle fit in the food web?

Bald Eagles are on the top of the food chain. Top predators, if you will. This means that they have no predators (some people classify humans as a known predator though). Bald Eagles diet's consist mainly of fish. Although they will also eat other small game, including other birds. Bald Eagles are also Carrion eaters, which means they will eat animals/meat that is already dead (like scavengers).

So, if you were to construct a Bald Eagle food chain, the Eagle would be at the top, then small game, such as rabbits, birds, and fish, then insects and plants. Of course you could add more, that's just a rough example... Hope that helps.

What are the factors affecting the speed of service in a fast food chain?

There are several factors that affect the speed of service in a fast food chain. The main thing is the people that are working there. The machinery also plays a part in how fast it cooks the food.

How do pollutants get into food?

By eating other animals and getting their DDT up higher.

What does each stage in a food web provide the next stage?

it covers choclate covered donuts(: just kiding i have no cluezzz

How does the 'big idea of energy transfer' work in a food chain?

If i were to have 100% energy, and i had to give my energy to a mouse, the mouses 1005 of enery is only 20% of mine. so im giving the mouse 20% of my energy which is his/hers 1005 this carrys on and on through a food chain.

What foods' kcalories would be considered as part of one's discretionary kcalorie allowance?

It means calories that you are free to "spend" (consume) as you see fit. For example, if you need 1800 calories per day and actually consume only 1600, then at that point you are free to eat a 200-calorie snack without gaining weight. Note that you still need to avoid saturated or trans fats.

What eats honey bees?

Bees eat honey.

Bees ingest the nectar of plants and flowers only to regurgitate it (after it has mixed with enzymes in the bees stomach) as honey.

The honey is placed into cells and capped with wax. In order for bees to survive the winter they have to have sufficient honey stored in the hive, because that is their food. Bees will also eat sugar syrup (thick sugar water).

They do also eat pollen, but its not a main food source and is actually mixed with honey and mostly used for royal jelly that the larva eat.
Worker bees eat pollen and honey. The queen bee eats royal jelly.

What would happen if an animal in a food chain went extinct?

Everyone would die. There would be nothing for the primary consumers to eat, and they would die off. Then the secondary consumers would die off because they would have nothing to eat. Everything would eventually die from starvation.

Which organisms is most likely to be found at the beginning of a food chain?

Every food chain necessarily begins with an organism that doesn't eat any other organism (if it did eat another organism, it would not be the beginning of the food chain) which is technically known as an autotroph. We are generally familiar with organisms that conduct photosynthesis, although that is not the only kind of autotroph; there are also bacteria which metabolize minerals coming from underwater vents, which live symbiotically in vent worms.
