Pathways This reading is about food chains‚ food webs‚ and food pyramids. The sun is the source of energy in a food chain. The energy from the sun can only be used by producers. The producers get eaten by consumers. A consumer is a herbivore‚ a carnivore‚ or an omnivore. Fungi and decay bacteria are decomposers. Decomposers break down and recycle dead things and make the soil better for producers. Food webs are the overlapping and the interconnections of several food chains in an ecosystem. The base

If I told you that you were‚ on a daily basis‚ consuming food that could potentially give you serious health issues‚ would you still eat it? The human body is in fact‚ designed to sustain a vegetarian diet. Most of you are‚ on a daily basis eating meat‚ poultry or fish – which have also been linked to a large number of chronic diseases and cancers. Alongside this‚ animals are treated extraordinarily cruelly and inhumanely when it comes to satisfying us humans. This is wrong and needs to be fixed

been lead to believe. First off‚ man was likely really meant to be a plant eater and not a carnivore. Physiologically talking‚ man has all the features of a plant eater and not one of the traits of a carnivore. We have got the teeth‚ jaws‚ digestive enzymes‚ stomach astringency‚ and small intestines length of plant eaters. The most annoying and revolting of those is the small intestines length. Carnivores have small intestines that are 3-6 times body length. The reason being because beef rots terribly

There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen geaner. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb)‚ up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes. They are found worldwide‚ mostly in the shallower seas of the continelnta shelves‚ and are carnivores‚ mostly eating fish and squid. The family Delphinidae is the largest in the Cetacea‚ and relatively recent: dolphins evolved about ten million years ago‚ during the Miocene. Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals and

Nature has created many great beasts‚ some soar through the skies‚ some flow through the depths of the seas‚ and others dash across the vast lands. Many of these land dwelling creatures eat the flesh and meat of other animals. Of these species of carnivores‚ wolves are one of the most common. Some of these wolves are small and adapted to heat like the African Wild Dog‚ while others are used to tropical forests like the red wolf. Living among these other wild canines‚ some have been domesticated and

The coyote is known to be an extremely adaptive carnivore‚ which is clearly evident from the fact that coyotes can survive is vastly different environments and has been for more than 500‚000 years. In legend‚ its most prevalent name is known as the Trickster‚ who tricks people into learning lessons and is evident in showing people how life may not always appear as it seems.

Fats: vital in small amounts. “They provide fatty acids which are vital for the brain” and for energy (Watson‚ 2010‚ p56) and act as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins. 4. Fibre: important for most species. Carnivores require only a small amount to aid food digestion; however it makes up the majority of an herbivore diet. 5. All animals require certain vitamins; organic compounds which support body regulation. For example‚ vitamin A aids growth‚ foetal development
