Question

Difference between food chain and food web

Answer 1

Food chain is a single linear pathway through which food energy and nutrients travels in the ecosystem while food web is number of interconnected food chains through which energy and nutrients travels in the ecosystem.
In food chains, usually member of high trophic level feed upon a single type of organism of lower trophic level while in food web members of higher trophic level feed upon many organisms of lower trophic level.
In food chains, separate and isolated food chains increases the instability of the ecosystem. In food web, stability of the ecosystem increases by the presence of complex food webs.
Food chains have no effect on improving the adaptability and competitiveness of the organisms while more complex food webs improves the adaptability and competitiveness of the organisms.

Q) Write the Difference between food chain and food web???

A) UR ANSWER :-

❤️FOOD CHAIN❤️

➡️A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food.

➡️A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species.

➡️A food chain also shows how the organisms are related with each other by the food they eat.

➡️Each level of a food chain represents a different trophic level.

➡️eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass.

❤️ FOOD WEB ❤️

➡️A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.

➡️Food web is a network of food chains where all the chains are naturally interconnected. A food web consists of many food chains.

➡️A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.

➡️Another name for food web is consumer-resource system.

➡️ eg: A hawk might also eat a mouse, a squirrel, a frog or some other animal.
