Food Chain Page |
| Food Chains: |
| A food chain is a chain
of animals that eat other animals. For instance
the rabbit eats the plant, the the snake eats the
rabbit, and the hawk eats the snake. That was an
example of how the food chain works. It's so
delicate that if one thing is messed up in the
food chain than the hole thing would be messed up. |

| Food Webs: Food
web is the hole picture a what eats what. For
example the rabbit eats the plant, the snake eats
the rabbit, and the hawk eats the snake. The
organisems in the food web depens on what they
eat. Like the snake for example it eats the
rabbit, frogs, and mice. now if there was no
frogs they could eat the rabbits. The snake could
be in different places in the food web. In the
Amazon the snake could get eaten by a hawk or a
larger mamal. |

| The Delicate
Balance of Organisms: |
| The food web is so
inticate and delicate that if any minuet piece is
out of place, then the whole food web as a whole
will be disturbed and out of place. For instance,
if there is a lot of pollution is within a creek,
and the alge and other microscopic creatures a
depleated, then the fish have no food to eat.
After the fish population goes down, then the
bear and other mammal population will suffer too.
So, if mankind is destroying the beautiful Amazon
rainforest where various animals exsist, then
where would they live? If one specis if depleated
then the others will all suffer. |
