Food Chain:
A feeding sequence in which each kind of organism eats the one below it in the chain.
Arrows mean (eaten by), and they also show the movement of food energy in the system.
Food Webs
The organisms in a food chain are dependent on one another.
Any change in a particular trophic level will affect all of the other levels (below and above).
Food Webs
Example:
Grass Grasshopper Frog Snake Owl
Food Webs
Grass Grasshopper Frog Snake Owl
If the frog population is removed then there is a gap in the feeding order...
Without a food source, the snake would die, as would the owls.
The grasshoppers, with no natural predators, would increase in numbers.
Eventually they would eat all the grass and die as well.
This single chain is not realistic
Food Webs
In any area there are many chains which interconnect. Most consumers have many different food sources, so if one is limited they can switch to another.
This is referred to as a food web
Food Web = interconnecting food chains
