B.A food chain has limitations with the organisms involved. C.A food chain shows all the organisms. D.A food chain shows only a single pathway of energy.

OpenStudy (thecalchater):

I would say a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which ones can you cross out if it says a LIMITED representation

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

brilllllll gotchu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure that's even the right answer @TheCalcHater

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I can cancel out C and A

OpenStudy (thecalchater):

Yeah i am pretty sure it is A because in shows organisms being eaten.... It shows different branches and such.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup those are the ones I would cross out too While it is true that B is somewhat correct however D is the main difference because it is limited through the fact that a food chain only has ONE flow of energy a food web has MULTIPLE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

food chain is limited, food web is not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk which one tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well lol just gave you the answer didn't I?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which one do you think is the BEST answer depending on what I told you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, didn't see yours. I think it's more about energy not organisms so I'm going to pick D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup that would be correct :) After all the main point of these is to show the flow of energy as you said
