To contrast:
Between food chain and food web.
Introduction:
The study of the relationship between living beings and their physical environment is termed as ecology. It helps to understand the connection between animals and plants and the other factors around them.
Explanation of Solution
Similarities − Both the food chain and the food web starts from the producers and ends at the highest-level consumers. Both of them point out the flow of energy and food from the producer to the consumer. Various organisms are involved in both the food web and the food chain.
Differences − A food chain just follows one path that starts with just one producer and there is only one consumer at the highest level. For example, a hawk eats a snake that eats a frog. Frog eats a grasshopper that feeds on grass.
In a food web, many food chains are connected to each other. Here, an organism can be eaten by various other consumers, and an organism can feed on various other living beings.
