Question

What are food chains and food webs? Why are smaller food chains better?​

Answer 1

Answer:

By going to the next trophic level, more and more energy is lost. Therefore, it is better that food chains are short. A shorter food chain means more energy available to the final consumer because less energy is lost to the surroundings. Therefore, a shorter food chain is more efficient than a longer food chain.

Answer 2

Answer:

A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at an apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species. A food chain also shows how organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. Each level of a food chain represents a different trophic level
