Which food might a first-Three organisms on the food web have arrows pointing toward them but no arrows pointing away from them. This is because level consumer eat?

Which food might a first-level consumer eat?

Usually, in a food chain, producers are eaten by first-level consumers, Those are then consumed by second-level consumers, and so on. This chain continues in this form and at one point, decomposers feed on these consumers and decompose them.

What does the arrow between the grasshopper and the frog represent?

Energy from one tropic level passed to another tropic level is reduced as the organisms use it for their own metabolism and maintenance.

_________ flows through a food web/chain and powers each organism at every trophic level.

The food chain ensures a unidirectional flow of energy through the ecosystem, that is, from one tropic level to another. Also, energy flow decreases with each tropic level.

Energy flow terrestrial food web would show relationships on_____.

A food web can be composed of multiple_____. 

The network of interrelated and interconnected food chains that include producers, consumers, and _____ is called the food web.

The material in the food chain undergoes recycling. Nothing is wasted in the environment.

Approximately _____% of the energy that is transferred from one trophic level to the next is converted to biomass

The 10% energy is transferred in the form of chemical energy from one trophic level to another.

Underwater creatures together make marine food web.

The underwater food web, being similar to the terrestrial food web is often known as the aquatic food web.

Biomass refers to the overall volume of an organism or the total volume of all the organisms that exist in a given trophic level.

Biomass is often measured through dried organic mass per unit area.

Nutrients are recycled through waste or decomposition in a food web.

Decomposition is a crucial process. It ensures that the nutrients are not lost in the environment.

At each trophic level, most of the energy is lost through biological processes.

Energy always flows in a unidirectional way. It never comes to a downwards trophic level.

If a disease strikes the snake population in the food chain shown, what will happen to the populations of hawks?

At the same time, the population of rabbits in this food chain will increase because there would be no other organism feeding on them.

The rest of the dead body left after consumers feed is

The decomposition process helps to return the organic material to the soil by converting it into inorganic material which is used as nutrients by the plants.

According to the pyramid of numbers, the number of producers is greater than the number of

The pyramid of numbers takes into consideration the number of organisms in a population and not the biomass.

Decay is the breaking down or decomposition of

Decay or decomposition is important because it helps to provide inorganic material to the soil and clears out waste from the environment.
