Answers
A food chain follows one path of energy and materials between species. A food web is more complex and is a whole system of connected food chains. In a food web, organisms are placed into different trophic levels. ... Producers are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
Explanation:
A food web is an interconnection of food chains.
Food chain is a linear pathway through which the nutritional energy flows.
In a food chain the primary source is the sun, the producers make food, which are in turn consumed by animals and it ends with the top predators.
Eg- grass → grasshopper → frog → snake → eagle.
Many linear network of food chains are linked in a food web.
Therefore, food web is a series of organisms related by consumer-resource and predator-prey interactions.
