what is the similarities between food chain and food web?
7137
Similarities: Both the food chain and food web represent flow of food and energy through various organisms (including plants) and point from the producers to the consumers. Both the food web and food chain include a number of organisms including both producers and consumers (as well as decomposers).

This is the simplest way of showing feeding relationships. Food web : A food web shows multiple food chains, multiple relationships and connections. ... Food pyramid : More commonly known as an energy pyramid, a food pyramid takes the food chain but uses it to show how energy moves through a community.

Biodiversity provide stability to the ecosystem and maintains the ecological balance. Plants and animals in ecosystem are linked to each other through food chain and food web. ... Microbes decompose the dead plant parts and animals in the soil thus facilitating the nutrient return to the soil.

All things on the planet—both living and nonliving—interact. An Ecosystem is defined as the set of elements, living and nonliving, that interact, over time, within a defined locale. A food chain demonstrates one way in which ecosystem elements interact in a systematic manner.

True flies serve many roles in the food chain as both predators and prey. Flies serve as important food sources for many birds, fish, mammals and other insects. Fishermen study the feeding habits of game fish to select the appropriate fly lures for the time, place and fish they seek.

Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun.

In an ecosystem, numerous interactions between organisms result in a flow of energy and cycling of matter. ... A food chain is the sequence of steps through which the process of energy transfer occurs in an ecosystem. All organisms need a continuous supply of energy.

Food Chains and Food Webs. 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. ... Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat other carnivores.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEEDING AND NUTRITION:  FEEDING: is the taking and ingestion of food.  NUTRITION: is the set of processes which interchange substances with the environment, the obtaining of nutrients, the sharing out of these nutrients throughout the body and the elimination of waste.

The Brainliest Answer! A food chain is just a one way process It proceeds from one organism to another. That means one organism can eat only one other organism . A food web is more or less has the same mechanism but it includes variety of organisms.

Phytoplankton and algae form the bases of aquatic food webs. They are eaten by primary consumers like zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans. Primary consumers are in turn eaten by fish, small sharks, corals, and baleen whales.

Phytoplankton is the first link in the food chain. These are known as primary producers because they produce the first forms of food. ... These, in turn, become food for larger organisms such as bivalves, crustaceans and fish.

That's what they have in common. Now, parasitism is when the parasite it's feeding from it's guest; by stealing it's nutrients. In commensalism, the parasite feeds from it's guest, but it doesn't harm it in any way. Predation is when an species needs to kill another living being, so they can actually live.

Explanation: Food chain refers to the chain of consumption of the organisms in the ecosystem and the overall contribution of this consumption to the ecosystem. ... Energy pyramid, refers to the "pyramid" of energy consumption. The pyramid is divided into groups and their amount of consumption and production of energy.

The top row of animals in the web are tertiary consumers (Coyote, mountain lion, and bobcat). ... A primary consumer eats the producer. A secondary consumer eats the primary consumer, and the tertiary consumer eats the secondary consumer. There can be multiple levels of tertiary consumers in a food chain or web.

A pyramid of numbers shows graphically the population, or abundance, in terms of the number of individual organisms involved at each level in a food chain. This shows the number of organisms in each trophic level without any consideration for their individual sizes or biomass. The pyramid is not necessarily upright.
