What do food chains and food webs symbolize?

Food chains and food webs are basically an organization, or hierarchy, that shows how living things depend on each other to live. They describe the 'order' of an ecosystem and show which organisms/living things become food for an another organism/living thing that's 'higher up' on the food chain. Food chains are very important. For example, if a certain species of animal died out, then the animal that eats them will be affected (because their food supply has just died out). They allow you to view the way in which ecosystems work and how other species would be affected by changes in either the environment or survival of other species.


How many food chains make up the food wed?

Multiple food chains make up a food web. A food web shows the complex network of interactions between different organisms in an ecosystem, including multiple interconnected food chains. Each organism in a food web can be a part of multiple food chains, showcasing the interconnectivity of an ecosystem.

Why do short food chains encourage people to become vegetarians?

Short food chains mean that your food is close to the source. All food ultimately comes from plants. If you eat a vegetarian animal, it was raised on plants. If you eat a carnivorous animal, you are eating an animal who has eaten another animal who ate a plant. Eating a carnivorous animal makes you part of a longer food chain than if you eat plants directly.
