A food web consists of one part of a food web. For example a food web would be: Carrot- Rabbit- Fox- Worm/ Decomposer. A food web is multiple food webs together. The multiple food chains 'web' together forming a food web.
Food Chain Every living thing on earth needs food to give energy to move and grow. What the food chain does is that it shows us how each living thing gets its food. The food chain also shows who is eating who. The food chain no matter how big it is will always start with a plant which is also called a producer. Next on the list would be a living thing which eats the plant which would be called a consumer. Lastly on the food chain would be an animal that eats the creature that ate the grass which would be called predator, in which case is always at the top of the food chain. Each thing depends on one another to survive and to get their energy. Most times humans are the predators. We would always be found on the top of the food chain. There is one really important thing for the food chain to exist, it's the sun we don't put the sun on our food chain but that doesn't mean it doesn't do a big job. If there was no sun there would be no plants, because plants depend on the sun to make their own food which is a process called photosynthesis. If there were no plants there would be no animals, because animals depend on plants to survive. If there were no animals there would be no humans or predators, since all humans depend on animals and plants to live. So basically our whole world wouldn't exist. An example of a food chain is grass, grasshopper, toad and hawk. The grasshopper eats the grass, the toad eats the grasshopper and the hawk eats the toad. That is how the food chain works. The difference between a food chain and a food web is that a food web has many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food.
e.g.: 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.
e.g.: A hawk might also eat a mouse, a squirrel, a frog or some other animal. The snake may eat a beetle, a caterpillar, or some other animal. And so on for all the other animals in the food chain. A food web is several food chains connected together. Food Web Animals eat many types of food. They don't just form food chains. They form food webs. Food webs show the many types of food that animals eat. Which will form the shape of a pyramid? (There are more producers, or plants, than consumers, or animals!) A drop in one area of the food web affects the other areas of the food web! A food web is a diagram that also shows the feeding relationships between the plants and animals in a certain area. That is who eats whom but it is more complicated. In food webs plants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the Sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water. Animals are called consumers because they cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. There are three types of consumers: Herbivores - Animals that eat plants Carnivores - Animals that eat other animals Omnivores - Animals that eat both animals and plants - like humans. Food webs also show decomposers (bacteria and fungi) which feed on Left over of an animal release nutrients back into the soil and food web.

Food chains and food webs are very similar however they are not the same. Food webs are larger and contain many food chains. The food pyramid describes how energy travels up through the levels.
A food chain in the order in which living organisms consume each other in a particlar ecosystem. Whereas a biomass pyramid shows the progression of energy through a food chain and the amount each trophic level is required to consume.
the difference is that a food chain is smaller then a food web because a food web is more animals then a food chain
Chain implies a linear set up. Web implies a multilinear set up. Think chain vs. spider's web.
it's just something whos is supposed to no why do you need to now just leave now
its the same thing
A food chain is different from a food web, but a food chain always starts with a producer (plant) and it ends with a decomposer. I don't think a food web has a beginning or end.
food chain
A food chain is the chain of one animal eating the other while a food web is a web of different food chains. So it better represents an ecosystem.
food chain is just one line of different animals eating the next, like a chain, and a food web is like a bunch of branches spreading all over, like a web.
Food web.
they both compare what animals eat
A food chain is one animal right after each other (ex. hawk> snake> mouse> grass) and on a food chain things branch off. (ex. hawk and eagle> snake and cat> mouse and cow> grass). All of this would be in diagram form. Look up pictures of food chain and food web on the internet.
the difference is that a food chain is smaller then a food web because a food web is more animals then a food chain
food web
every food web and food chain transfers into radient energy:)
the food chain and food web has someone or something eating each other.
Food chains and food webs are representations of the predator-prey relationships between species within an ecosystem or habitat. Many chain and web models can be applicable depending on habitat or environmental factors.Every known food chain has a base made of autotrophs, organisms able to manufacture their own food (e.g. plants, chemotrophs).
Snow leopards are carnivores at the top of the food chain and food web
A food chain is different from a food web, but a food chain always starts with a producer (plant) and it ends with a decomposer. I don't think a food web has a beginning or end.
Food web is a chain of all the living organisms in a web. It represents the food chain of living things.
its a FOOD CHAIN OR A FOOD WEB The answer is a food web/food chain either or i know this because of a crossword i did ! Hope this helps !
