generally: larger organisms are higher on the food chain as they have more ability to consume/chase/hunt/forage, etc.

A series of events in which one organism eats one another?

This series of events is known as a food chain or a food web. It represents the transfer of energy from one organism to another as they consume each other for survival. Each step in the food chain involves a predator-prey relationship where one organism serves as food for another.


An interaction in which one organism kills and eats another is called what?

food chain


What is a food chian?

A food chain is a linear sequence of links in a food web starting from species that are called producers in the web and ends at species that are called decomposers in the web. A food chain also shows how the organisms are related with each other by the food they eat. A food chain differs from a food web, because the complex polyphagous network of feeding relations are aggregated into trophic species and the chain only follows linear monophagouspathways. A common metric used to quantify food web trophic structure is food chain length. In its simplest form, the length of a chain is the number of links between a trophic consumer and the base of the web and the mean chain length of an entire web is the arithmetic average of the lengths of all chains in a food web.[1][2]


An organism that is eaten is called what?

The prey (an animal that is caught for food).


Is a tiger composer?

No, the tiger is a consumer, a secondary consumer in the food chain. Composer is not a trophic position on a food chain. Organisms are either producers, consumers or decomposers.

What is an organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?

An organism's position in a sequence of energy transfers is determined by its trophic level - where it falls in the food chain. Producers are at the first trophic level, followed by herbivores, then carnivores, and finally decomposers. Each level represents a transfer of energy from one organism to the next in an ecosystem.

What is a trophic level and what determines an organism's trophic level?

Trophic level is a group of organisms that occupy the same position in a food chain. An organisms trophic level is determined by its position in a food chain against all levels Producers(Level 1), Herbivores(Level 2), Predators(Level 3), and Carnivores as Level 4 or 5.


An organism's position in the sequence of energy transfers in an ecosystem is known as its what?

An organism's position in the sequence of energy transfers in an ecosystem is known as its trophic level. This indicates the organism's position in the food chain and its role in energy flow through the ecosystem.


ways in which special relationship affect food web or chain/wed?

A food chain outlines who eats whom. A food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem. Each organism in an ecosystem occupies a specific trophic level or position in the food chain or web.


Why are the arrows on a food chain not pointed the other way?

The arrows in a food chain indicate the direction of energy flow from organism to organism.


What term refers to the particular way an organism obtains energy?

The term is "trophic level" and it describes an organism's position in a food chain or food web based on its energy source and how it obtains energy.

The loss of an organism at the bottom of a food chain negatively impacts all organism in the chain true or false?

True. The loss of an organism at the bottom of a food chain can have cascading effects on all organisms in the chain. This can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem and impact the entire food web.
