A food chain is a sequence of higherarchy in eating patterns, like who eats who and then who eats them in a specific system.

An example: The mouse eats berries, the snake eats the mouse, the fox eats the snake or the minnows eat the algea, the small fish eats the minnow, the big fish eats the small fish, the shark eats the big fish... etc...

A food pyramid is more general.

Such as: All eaters of plants at the bottom, smaller carnivores eat them, larger carnivores eat them...
