producers (e.g. grass), because it makes its own food by photosynthesizing then other organisms eat it.
How does the amount of energy change in a food chain?
The energy will go down because the energy keeps getting stored in the cells of the plants
or animal that has the energy, so when an other animal eats that plant or animal it gets less of the energy the other creature has.
An energy pyramid starts at the bottom with a producer. This is it's widest point, because it has the most energy.
Why is there more stability in a large food web then in a small food chain?
In a large food web, there are more producers and consumers, so if one branch experiences a shift in numbers, it doesn't affect the rest of the web as much. In a small food chain, the consumers have so few choices; if one of those choices is eliminated, the survival of the consumers is jeopardized. Diversity. Let's say a food chain is made up of one kind of plant, one kind of herbivore, and one kind of carnivore. If there's a drought and the plant dies off, the herbivores have nothing to eat and they starve, and then the carnivores have nothing to eat. Or, if disease kills off a few herbivores, the carnivores will drop in population due to having less to eat.This means that in the next season there will be many more herbivores than carnivores (due to prey species' high rate of reproduction) and this surplus will deplete the plant supply, meaning that in due time the herbivores will have nothing to eat, and they will die, which means that the carnivores will have nothing to eat... in essence, small fluctuations spell collapse for the entire ecosystem. In a larger food chain, there will be some species of plants that are more drought-resistant than others and those will feed the herbivores. Certain species of herbivores that are resistant to disease will remain to feed carnivores after other herbivores have died from disease. Et cetera.
Explain what a food web is and how it differs from a food chain?
a food web is when you have different varieties and it differs because a food chain is only a line

What is the role of middlemen in chain of distribution?
Middlemen, or intermediaries, play a crucial role in the distribution chain by facilitating the movement of goods from producers to consumers. They help to bridge the gap between manufacturers and end-users by performing functions such as storage, transportation, and marketing. By aggregating products from multiple suppliers, middlemen can also provide consumers with a wider selection, while helping producers reach larger markets. Overall, they enhance efficiency and reduce costs in the distribution process.
In creating a food chain which comes first herbivore or a carnivore?
I would say Herbivore, because the herbivore would first eat the plants, and then the carnivore would eat the herbivore.........something like that...
~hope it helps! ^_~
We just finished studying that last year and i am positive that the answer is food web. Hope that I have been able to help you.
