The energy pyramid is more like a food chain type. It shows one spesific path as opposed to many paths. *I have to disagree with the above. A well drawn pyramid will show many producers, first level and above consumers in an ecosystem. Therefore it is more like a food web.

Neither, the food pyramid is an outdated concoction of the FDA. Many nutritionists consider it to be useless, and it is changed every few years when new nutrition fads are introduced.

A food web is a series of inter-related food chains that illustrates the flow of energy through an ecosystem.

A food web shows all the possible feeding relationships amongst the organisms in the community. The energy pyramid on the other hand, shows the amount of energy available in each feeding level in an ecosystem.

They are the same. A food web is just multiple food chains put together.
