A food web is a more realistic model of the flow of energy through an ecosystem than a food chain because - 

• most organisms depend on more than one species for food
• each organism in a food chain represents multiple feedings
• most organisms depend on just one species for food
• each organism in a food web represents a single feeding

Why are coal, oil, and natural gas considered nonrenewable resources?

• There is a limited supply, and they can be replaced in a short period of time.
• There is not a limited supply, and they cannot be replenished in a short period of time.
• There is a limited supply, and they cannot be replenished in a short period of time.
• There is not a limited supply, and they can be replaced in a short period of time.
