Because all foods fit in those groups and it may become hard to understand.

What are the stages of an acute injury?
he Stages for acute injury is the RICE treatment or in more recent times the POLICE treatment
How the band width will effect as more number of stages are cascaded?
it increases
What is the chain rule in calculus?
The chain rule, in calculus, is a formula. It allows one to compute the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. It was first used by the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz.
Why do boxes get smaller as you go up in a pyramid of numbers?
The pyramid usually get thinner as you go up it because if you start off with one producer and 8 consumers there will be less secondary consumers because then there will be more food. I hope this helped!
Does a polygon usually have more sides or more angle explain?
Neither. They must be the same.
Why is there usually no more than four or five stages in a food chain?
Food chains typically have fewer stages due to energy loss at each trophic level. As energy is transferred from one organism to another, some of it is lost as heat, leading to a decrease in available energy for each successive trophic level. This limits the number of stages in a food chain to ensure energy efficiency and sustainability.
How are a food pyramid and a food chain different?
A food chain is more relative. A food pyramid is more empirical. The food pyramid is more useful in determining food groups and needs.
Why do food chains usually have no more than four animals?
because it's a chain...and the chains added together make a food web...duhh! ^ this is wrongg because so much energy passes of a food chain, there is not enough energy for any more species
Is more food avilable at the top or the bottom of a food chain?
There's more at the top of the food chain because there's more animals and food lower down.
What is a difference between a food chain and a food web?
the difference is that a food chain is smaller then a food web because a food web is more animals then a food chain
What information can you get from a food web the you cannot get from a food chain?
its just a more complicated form of a food chain
Why do most food chains consist of no more than 3 or 4 levels?
During the progression of each stage, the organisms in the food chain exert tons of energy. Most chains are broken down to four stages for that reason.
Does the top of the food chain have the same amount as the bottom?
Typically, the food chain is like a pyramid more than a chain. The lower on the food chain an organism is, the more of them that there are, because the lower organisms are usually smaller so it takes more of them to feed the larger ones at the top. ie sardines eat plankton, tuna eat sardines, and sharks eat the tuna.....each one is bigger than the other so there are more plankton than tuna, and more tuna than sharks.
Why is a complex food web better than a simple food chain for the survival of the community?
A food web can more readily react to changes in the environment that impact one or more species. Also a food web is sometimes strengthened by the loss of one or more species if that species is overly aggressive, whereas a food chain is only as strong as it's weakest link and is always diminished or destroyed by the loss of any member. In short, a food web is more adaptive than a food chain and usually more diverse with more opportunity for cooperative advantage, improving chances of survival over a chain for the included species, especially species higher in the web (further from photosynthesis).
Why is the Inuit food chain longer than the farmed food chain?
because the humans has more energy
What would happen if the predator died in a food chain?
If the predator died in a food chain, there would likely be an increase in the population of the prey species. This increase in prey population could then have cascading effects on other species and the overall ecosystem, potentially leading to imbalances and shifts in the food web dynamics.
What is more energy available in the first link of a food chain than in the forefront of the same food chain?
because it needs a lot of energy to get the food chain to cycle.
