please help!

OpenStudy (koikkara):

Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but how is it transferred through a for web

OpenStudy (koikkara):

well what do you know about food webs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not much

OpenStudy (koikkara):

well, for example, lets take : grass - deer - lion when the deer eats the grass, around 10% of the energy in the grass will be transferred to the deer. Same thing happens when the lion eats the deer..i.e. 10% energy is transferred from deer to lion. is it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (koikkara):

then, the longer the food chain, the lesser energy is remained at the end of the chain Also, Food web is made up of at least 2 food chains.

OpenStudy (koikkara):

Now you know how energy is transferred through a web.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but can you tell me the complete answer in like 2-3 sentences please :) @Koikkara

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We do not give out the direct answer. You need to figure it out yourself. @ Koikkara explained it perfectly to you. Summarize what he has said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but i need help summarizing it. I'm bad at that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets start with the first sentence.. it should go something like this right? Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding.

OpenStudy (koikkara):

alrite, i will help then ?

OpenStudy (koikkara):

When a animal in the food chain eats another lower in the food chain, the energy is transferred by heat and movement. Is it possible ?

OpenStudy (koikkara):

srry...when "an animal"

OpenStudy (koikkara):

@geny55 write both points together... you got a complete answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so like this.. Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding. When a animal in the food chain eats another lower in the food chain, the energy is transferred by heat and movement. @Koikkara

OpenStudy (koikkara):

\(\Large\rm\color{blue}{There~you~did~it~!!~Congrats~!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure that the answer says how energy is transferred in a FOOD WEB? @Koikkara

OpenStudy (koikkara):

ofcourse, why not... ? Means you didn't understand the topic...!! Doubts are welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I'm just making sure.. i don't want to get it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Koikkara

OpenStudy (anonymous):
