In electrical circuits, parallel circuits are commonly used because they have several important advantages:
1. Independent Operation: Components in a parallel circuit operate independently of each other. If one component fails, the rest of the circuit can still function. This is in contrast to series circuits where the failure of one component disrupts the entire circuit.
2. Voltage Stability: In a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage across it. This means that adding or removing components does not affect the voltage across other components.
3. Easy to Add Components: It is easy to add more components to a parallel circuit without affecting the operation of existing components. This makes parallel circuits flexible for expanding or modifying a circuit.
4. Current Sharing: Components in a parallel circuit share the total current flowing into the circuit. This can be advantageous when different components require different currents to operate efficiently.
5. Redundancy: Parallel circuits provide redundancy, ensuring that if one component fails, the others can continue to operate. This can be crucial in critical systems where continuous operation is essential.
By choosing a parallel circuit to draw, you can take advantage of these benefits to design a circuit that is more reliable, flexible, and efficient for your specific application.

Food Web and Food Chain Chapter 2:
FOOD WEB A number of food chains form a interlinking pattern forming a web like arrangement known as food web.
Food webs consist of many interconnected food chains and are more realistic representation of consumption relationships in ecosystems. Food Web
FOOD WEB A FOOD WEB shows many different paths that connect plant and animals. A FOOD WEB is many food chains connected. A FOOD WEB include producer and consumers
Food Chains A FOOD CHAIN is the path by which energy in the form of food, passes from one living thing to another within the ecosystem .
Food chain A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
Tropic levels in the food chain Producers Consumers Decomposers PRODUCER Producers make their own food. Producers are on the bottom of the food chain.
Tropic levels in the food chain CONSUMERS Organisms that do not make their own food. Another term for heterotrop is consumer because they consume other organisms in order to live.
TYPES OF CONSUMERS Herbivores are animals that primarily feed on plants. Carnivores are animals that primarily feed on other animals. Omnivores are animals that consume both plant and animal matter, including a variety of foods in their diet.
TYPES OF CONSUMERS
Tropic levels in the food chain DECOMPOSERS Microorganisms that are able to break down large molecules into smaller parts. Decomposers return the nutrients that are in a living things to the soil. Example: fungi
Tropic levels in the food chain Energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient—with a typical efficiency around 10%. This inefficiency limits the length of food chains.
