The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Carnivores are too large to be eaten. Producers are limited by consumers. Plants are not infinite in number. Energy is lost at each trophic level. 2 / 15 In an ecosystem, snakes feed on frogs, which feed on mosquitoes. Use of a bug spray has decreased the number of mosquitoes. What will probably happen to the number of frogs and snakes? Frogs will increase, snakes will decrease Frogs will increase, snakes will increase Frogs will decrease, snakes will decrease Frogs will decrease, snakes will increase 3 / 15 It is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. Food waste Food web Food Chain Food cycle 4 / 15 How is energy transferred from one organism to another?

Are mold and mushrooms the same type of organism? Yes, because they both get energy from the Sun. No, because they look different from each other. Yes, because they both get energy from breaking down dead organisms. No, because they are different species. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
