Explain why food webs give more accurate representation of feeding relationships than a food chain?

Food webs are different than food chains because a food web is an area of the residents/ organisms living in an area. Example:

The forest of Connecticut has a food web of all of the below in the order they go in;
Decomposers: Mushrooms, fungi, bacteria.
Producers: Plants, trees etc.
Consumers: Mice, Squirrels, birds.
Secondary consumers: Snakes, Owls.
Primary consumers that eat the secondary consumers: Wolfs, Coyotes, vaulters.
Scavengers: they eat the remains of the carcass of the Primary consumers.
Then the food web starts over, unlike a Food chain that shows all of the animals in one country or state that shows every step and gets way too complicated and misses some important details. Hope this helps :D

Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.

The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells. Inside, carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is subsequently hydrolyzed into bicarbonate (HCO3−) and H+. The H+ ion binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and bicarbonate is transported out of the red blood cells in exchange for a chloride ion. This is called the chloride shift.

Bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the blood plasma. In the lungs, bicarbonate is transported back into the red blood cells in exchange for chloride. The H+ dissociates from hemoglobin and combines with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid with the help of carbonic anhydrase, which further catalyzes the reaction to convert carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the lungs.
