  • Card 13 / 36:
    Compare and contrast food chains and food webs. What are the strengths of each concept in describing ecosystems?

    Food webs show interacting groups of different species and their many interconnections with each other and the environment. Food chains are linear aspects of food webs that describe the succession of organisms consuming one another at defined trophic levels. Food webs are a more accurate representation of the structure and dynamics of an ecosystem. Food chains are easier to model and use for experimental studies.
