Solution
Food Chain | Food Web | |
i. | The food chain is a definite sequence of interaction between producers, consumers, and decomposers (saprophytes). | The Food web is a network of food chains that are interconnected at various levels forming an intricate web instead of a linear chain. |
ii. |
If any of the intermediate organisms are removed from the chain it affects the whole food chain. |
In the food web, there is more than one alternative of food to most of the organisms; hence the removal of an organism does not affect the food web directly. |
