Food webs consist of different plants and animals, food chains are just animals in an environment with a producer, top consumer, and animals in the middle who are consumers.

A food chain shows a direct and specific chain of dominance for example, grass is eaten by a grasshopper, the grasshopper is eaten by a frog, which is eaten by a snake, and then the snake is eaten by a hawk and so on.

A food web is like a food chain on a broader scope. it shows multiple animals in the same category and then shows what eats what. like if you were given a list of animals, lets say, a frog, grass, mushrooms, a fly, white-tailed deer, a coyote, an owl, a hawk, a snake, and a human, mouse. the web would be relative- as far as how specific you would want to be- but you would basically put the same kind of animals on the same line or level and then use arrows to point to which animals would eat each other.

like i would say that mushrooms and grass would be on the bottom level (the autotroph level), a fly would be on its own level because its not an autotroph and it doesnt consume the grass or the mushroom, and then the next level up would be grasshoppers, frogs, and white-tailed deer-it gets kind of weird here because it doesnt seem like deer should be on the same level as grasshoppers, so you could put them on their own level but they cant eat frogs so its kind of complicated-then coyotes, owls, hawks and snakes, and humans on the top. then you would put an arrow from snake to frog because snakes can eat frogs, raw arrows connecting the animals being eaten to the animals eating them. humans could be connected to all of them because humans can technically eat all of the animals in the food web. snake would be connected to frog because snakes can eat frogs, hawk would be connected to mouse, frog would be connected to fly and so on.

Food chains have mass-produced food with artificial ingredients. Many people avoid food chains because the quality of their food is not good.
