What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

Question

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

There're different. Food chain is event of eat and eaten among animals(different species). it's a straight link. exp: worm-chicken-eagle.

Food web is joint 2 or more food chain, so there's maybe an animal who's feed for 2 anothe kind animal. Get biologs task huh? HEHE

Answer 2

They are the same

Answer 3

FOOD CHAINS FOLLOW A SINGLE PATH AS

ANIMALS EAT EACH OTHER.

EXAMPLE:

GRASS (is eaten by a) GRASSHOPPER (which is eaten by) a FROG (which is eaten by a) SNAKE (which is eaten by a) HAWK

--------------------------------------...

FOOD WEBS SHOW HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE INTERCONNECTED BY DIFFERENT PATHS.

EXAMPLE:

TREES produce acorns which act as food for many MICE and INSECTS. Because there are many MICE, the WEASELS, SNAKES, and RACOONS, have food. The insects in the acorns also attract BIRDS, SKUNKS, and OPOSSUMS. With the SKUNKS, OPPOSUMS, WEASELS and MICE around, HAWKS, FOXES, and OWLS can find food. They are all connected!

FOOD WEBS show how plants and animals are connected in many ways to help them all survive. FOOD CHAINS follow just one path as animals find food.
