Question

distinguish between food chain and food webs​

Answer 1

Answer:

A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.

Answer:

FOOD CHAIN:

• The flow of energy through a single straight pathway from the lower trophic level to the higher trophic level is called food chain.
• It consists of only one straight chain.
• Even if the one group of an organism disturbs, the whole chain will be affected

FOOD WEB:

• The interconnected, numerous food chains through which the energy flow in the ecosystem is called food web.
• It consists of many interconnected food chains.
• The food web does not get disturbed by the removal of one group of organisms.
