Food Chains And Food Webs Playbuzz A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains. it is generally a graphical representation of what eats what in an ecological community. what are the similarities between food chains and food webs?. A food chain outlines who eats whom. a food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem. each organism in an ecosystem occupies a specific trophic level or position in the food chain or web. producers, who make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, make up the bottom of the trophic pyramid. primary consumers, mostly herbivores, exist at the next level, and secondary and.

Food Chains And Food Webs Playbuzz Food webs. a food chain is just one of the many paths that allow energy to flow through an ecosystem. but ecosystems are more complicated than a single food chain: every ecosystem includes many food chains that overlap and connect. for example, several different herbivores might all feed on one large field of grass. A food chain represents a single pathway by which energy and matter flow through an ecosystem. an example is shown in figure below. food chains are generally simpler than what really happens in nature. most organisms consume—and are consumed by—more than one species. this food chain includes producers and consumers. Food chains. a food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another; the levels in the food chain are producers, primary consumers, higher level consumers, and finally decomposers. these levels are used to describe ecosystem structure and dynamics. Vocabulary. a food web consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem. each living thing in an ecosystem is part of multiple food chains. each food chain is one possible path that energy and nutrients may take as they move through the ecosystem. all of the interconnected and overlapping food chains in an ecosystem make up a food web.
