It has done away with the need to be corrected by high school teachers by those of us no longer in school. As Google describes it, there is a Food Web which consists of many Food Chains. Perhaps the member really did mean Food Chain. Quote A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allancomeau Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 At the risk of raising more hackles.......... A food chain is used more to show the position of a predator/prey whereas the food web illustrates the relationships between the producers and consumers. As rice fields constitute more an ecosystem then a food web is more relevant to showing what is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as we all know what is meant then your part of the communication is accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
