Longest food chain

Hi all,

 

I'm giving my niece a hand on her homework but it's been taking me :confused: ages to find the answer to this question...

 

"Where can you find the longest food chain? Why?"

 

 

If anybody :cool: here knows a link where I could surf, I would be ecstatic!:P

 

Thanks a bunch!

"Food chains" are often over simplifications, webs are slightly more realistic and they even occasionally contain loops (e.g. fleas, stuff that eats fleas, stuff that has fleas) which you could arguably call infinitely long food chains.

 

The longest simple linear one I guess would start with the sun, plant algae, algae eating microbes, small fish etc etc.
