What is the smallest number of species that can be present in a food chain that includes a carnivore?
four
What keeps going and never stops?
numbers because they go on forever and ever and never stop so energy itself can't do that. or light or lines or food chain or the water cycle or the
How many rods in a chain?
1 chain = 4 rods.
How do you convert 89 inches to a fraction?
Like all whole numbers put it over 1, to get 89/1 inches.Perhaps you ought to ask your question with more clarity as to what you want.For example, do you mean "How do you convert 89 inches to a fraction of another unit, for example a chain?"In which case you find out how many inches are in the other unit (1 chain = 792 inches) and then use this as the denominator with 89 as the numerator and then simplify the fraction. In this case 89 inches is 89/792 chain.
How many links are needed to join 30 pieces of chain into one long chain?
29 maybe? Have a think.
What is the total mass of all organisms in a food chain?
biomass
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the what?
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the biomass. Biomass represents the organic material that can be consumed or used for energy transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem.
At the top of a pyramid of biomass are the?
top predators like apex predators and carnivores. They have fewer individuals but more biomass because they consume organisms lower on the food chain.
What are the concept of an ecological pyramid?
An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the trophic levels (different feeding levels) within an ecosystem. It shows the flow of energy or biomass from one trophic level to the next, with producers at the bottom and top predators at the top. There are three types: pyramid of numbers, pyramid of biomass, and pyramid of energy.
What is biomass and which type of organism will have the most biomass?
Biomass refers to the total weight of living organisms in a given area or ecosystem. In general, plants have the most biomass because they form the base of the food chain and are able to convert energy from the sun into organic matter through photosynthesis.
Are organisms at higher tropic levels fewer in numbers than those at lower tropic levels?
Yes, organisms at higher trophic levels tend to have fewer individuals compared to those at lower trophic levels. This is because energy is lost as it is transferred up the food chain, resulting in a pyramid-shaped distribution of biomass and population numbers.
What plant is important too a swamp and why is it important?
Mangroves because that is where the smallest organisms in the food chain live.
What does a biomass show?
The biomass pyramid is a chart that is drawn to scale. It displays the biomass at each stage in the food chain.
Does energy and biomass increase or decrease as you go through the food chain?
Energy and biomass decrease as you move up the food chain due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is lost as it moves through trophic levels. Organisms higher up in the food chain have less energy available to them compared to those lower down.
What is the process of all biomass on earth is generated?
Biomass on Earth is generated through photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into organic matter. This organic matter is then consumed by other organisms in the food chain, creating a continuous cycle of biomass generation.
The marine food chain in order from smallest to largest?
There are multiple food chains within the marine world. But a good example for you- Smallest organisms in marine environment- zooplankton Largest organisms in marine environment- whales Zooplankton--> Blue Whales (by filter feeding) Is a pretty easy food chain to remember.
Why are primary producers the first trophic level?
It is not necessarily. Imagine a large tree, insects eat its fruit and leaves, birds eat the insects on it, foxes eat the birds. In a week the tree might feed 10000 insects, who in turn feed 100 birds who in turn feed 5 foxes. There is only one tree and every level has more organisms on it than the producer level. It is not a question of number of organism, it is of Biomass, Biomass is the mass of any living matierial in a food chain. There is more biomass at the bottom level because lots of it is wasted as the chain progress - some leaves drop of and are not eaten, some insects are not eaten, the feathers and bones of the birds are not eaten. All of this means that some biomass is not passed on from one level to the next - some is wasted. Therefore, in orderto have enough to support the 5 foxes there needs to be a lot of biomass at the bottom. This is the tree. 1 organism, but very big, so los of biomass. If this whole food chain lived in an open field, the first level might be grass, in which case there is less biomass per organism and so the numbers of organisms would begreatest at the bottom. As it is, the numbers do not increase "like a pyramid". Biomass pyramids always do.
