Levels of Organization, Food Chains, and Webs

A food chain shows a single path of energy flow, while a food web shows multiple interconnected paths.

A food chain shows all organisms in an ecosystem, while a food web shows only plants.

A food chain includes only producers, while a food web includes only consumers.

A food chain is found in water ecosystems, while a food web is found on land.
