Answer 2

Food web is a jumble of food chains

Explanation:

All living things (plants and animals) need food to grow and move.  

Plants make their own food with the help of sunlight, so they are called producers.

Animals cannot produce food, so they depend on plants and other animals. So they are called consumers.

The food chain starts at the producers and ends with the consumers.

An example food chain would be, grass --> grasshopper --> toad --> snake --> hawk, where predators eat their preys to survive. You can find that the food chains starts with grass, a producer, and ends with hawk, a consumer.

So the food web is a jumble of food chains, where various animals prey on others, but the food chain always starts from the producers.
