Food webs show a whole area, such as a forest and would include all the organisms in there, whereas a food chain would only show a few animals.
For example, a food chain might depict some grass, a rabbit and a fox, but a web would show lots of different animals eating different things.

A food chain is a sequence of links from one species to another in a food web. Food chains show links from producer to consumer organisms. For example:
aquatic vegetation ---- fish ------- seagull
On the other hand a food web shows interconnections between food chains. For example:
aquatic vegetation ----------- fish --- seagull or fish ----- larger fish -------- sea eagle
In this food web there is a link from fish to seagull and also a link from fish to larger fish to sea eagle
chain example: a whale shark that feeds on copepods or krill which feed on microscopic algae. web example: the exapmle above, exept more compicated like: Great white shark feeds on seal, which feed on saltwater bass, which feed on minos, which feed on microscopic algae. see? a lot different than you think!
A food web has many different links. It links off into different animals. Where as a food chains just a line of single animals that eat those animals like hawks eat bunnies and bunnies eat grass and grass is the producer. But in a food web it would be like hawks eat bunnies, snakes, and squirrels and squirrels eat nuts and bunnies eat grasshoppers and grasshoppers eat grass and snakes eat mice and mice eat leaves.
A food chain is a small diagram with the following, a decomposer(s), producer(s), and consumer(s). And a food web is a complex web with more than one(1) food chain.
Hope this is helpfull in many ways!
A food chain only has one path of energy to follow. A food web is more complex but also if a organism is removed it doesn't affect the web,
One is bigger

[science]a food web is more ways a consumer or proudecer is eatin and food chain shows little ways
[science]a food web is more ways a consumer or proudecer is eatin and food chain shows little ways
the difference is that a food chain is smaller then a food web because a food web is more animals then a food chain
food chains are a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy,and a food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
food web
every food web and food chain transfers into radient energy:)
the food chain and food web has someone or something eating each other.
Snow leopards are carnivores at the top of the food chain and food web
A food chain is different from a food web, but a food chain always starts with a producer (plant) and it ends with a decomposer. I don't think a food web has a beginning or end.
Food web is a chain of all the living organisms in a web. It represents the food chain of living things.
its a FOOD CHAIN OR A FOOD WEB The answer is a food web/food chain either or i know this because of a crossword i did ! Hope this helps !
