the term food web suggests an interconnectedness among organisms in an ecosystem. It means that every member of that web is dependent in some way upon every other member of the web. for example: the fox is dependent on the rabbit for sustenance, but it is also dependent on the microorganisms that decompose matter into fertile soil for the plant life that the rabbit sustains itself on. It's cyclical in nature. Everything is dependent on everything else in the web.

What is the difference between a food web and a food chain?

(To print this information out, CLICK HERE)

FOOD CHAINS FOLLOW A SINGLE PATH AS
ANIMALS EAT EACH OTHER.

EXAMPLE:
GRASS (is eaten by a) GRASSHOPPER (which is eaten by) a FROG (which is eaten by a) SNAKE (which is eaten by a) HAWK


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOOD WEBS SHOW HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE INTERCONNECTED BY DIFFERENT PATHS.

EXAMPLE:
TREES produce acorns which act as food for many MICE and INSECTS. Because there are many MICE, the WEASELS, SNAKES, and RACOONS, have food. The insects in the acorns also attract BIRDS, SKUNKS, and OPOSSUMS. With the SKUNKS, OPPOSUMS, WEASELS and MICE around, HAWKS, FOXES, and OWLS can find food. They are all connected!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOOD WEBS show how plants and animals are connected in many ways to help them all survive. FOOD CHAINS follow just one path as animals find food.
