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). From Wikipedia under the

Asked by ................................ - Sun Jun 17 13:36:51 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because of the nature of food chains, five links is about all you get. At the lowest level you have plants that convert sunlight and water into sugars and oxygen. Because of biologic inefficiencies in attaining and converting these nutrients, not to mention side trips that consume energy like sex and internet surfing, it takes 10 units of prey for each unit of predator. At the top of the chain, size limitations imposed by gravity or water pressure define an upper boundary in size. So in the end, five levels is about all you get. The term food chain is kind of out-dated though since generally most animals are eating all sorts of living things from plants to animals with no sense of hierarchical boundary.

Q. Do pesky mosquitoes do anything besides biting other animals and spreading disease? Besides being food for other creatures, do mosquitoes play any other positive role in the food chain and our planet? Where do they fall in the food chain? Just curious- thanks for any insight you may have! Asked by - - Tue Jul 21 23:04:50 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Bats and birds both eat mosquitoes, along with spiders and moths. Female mosquitoes actually bite in order to provide nourishment for their eggs, while males don't bite. Without mosquitoes, a lot of cool animals wouldn't have enough food to survive. I guess thats what mosquitoes do in the food chain. Answered by J-Shark - Tue Jul 21 23:11:56 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Food chain" |
