A food chain describes how different organisms eat each
other, starting out with a plant and ending with an animal. Food chains follow a single path where
animals eat each other. A food chain
shows how each living thing gets its food.
A food web is a combination of food chains all linking together. When
you draw all the chains together you end up with a food web. Food
webs show how plants and animals are linked together by different paths.
