The level of accuracy depends on what an individual is comparing the accuracy to / what an individual is looking for. Food chains are accurate when an individual wants to know how energy passes from one organism to the next, and where the energy is passed into the environment once more. Food webs are accurate when an individual wants to know how energy passes in a section of an ecosystem (or an entire ecosystem), and where the energy is passed into the environment once more.

Why is a food web more accurate than a food chain in describing how energy is transferred throughout an ecosystem.?

A food web is more accurate than a food chain because it shows the complex network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem, including multiple species and their interactions. This better represents the flow of energy and nutrients as organisms may have multiple feeding relationships, allowing for a more realistic view of energy transfer throughout the ecosystem. Additionally, a food web accounts for the presence of omnivores and decomposers, which play crucial roles in energy flow but are not captured in a simple linear food chain.


What information can you get from a food web the you cannot get from a food chain?

its just a more complicated form of a food chain


Why is food web more realistic than a food chain?

Food webs and food chains are different things, but a food web is a more accurate representation of most animals' diet. A food chain is simply a line of one of each type of animal, so it might have one producer, one primary consumer, one secondary consumer etc, whilst a web is more complex, and represents more animals. For example: Food Chain: Cabbage-->snail-->Thrush-->sparrowhawk Food Web: http://www.bigelow.org/edhab/fitting_algae.html (pictures and more info here)


Why is a food web better then a food chain in terms of what eats the organism and what does the oraganism eat?

The term 'food web' is better than 'food chain' because the food web shows more paths of what an organism can eat, while the food chain only focuses on one path.
