ENVIRONMENTS FOOD CHAINS AND WEBS

Energy loss in food chains and webs

The more steps we have in a food chain ,the the less energy

is used for growth.Most of the energy is used for movement

and to keep things warm.

The further up a food chain we go,the less animals there are.

Food webs are all the chains in a habitat put together.

4. Food webs allow us to study environmental changes.

changing food webs

Some food webs can change for short periods e.g. when there

is a shortage of rain ,a river bed may dry up but the plant and

animal life will survive.

When conditions are changed permanently, some animals

can be lost forever.They are said to be extinct.

Animals adapt to their environments, e.g. worms like dark damp

conditions.Try to think of other examples.

4. Food webs can be changed in several ways.
