Food Chain: It refers to the order of events in an ecosystem, where one living organism eats another organism, and later that organism is consumed by another larger organism.
The food chain takes a single path, whereas the food web takes several paths. The food chain teaches us about the relationships between creatures. The food chain and food web are essential components of this ecosystem.Figure 1: Annotated diagram of a food chain. Image Credit: Sylvia Freeman....
Food Web - Usually, a food chain follows only one path, but since a Food Web is a combination of different food chains, there are multiple paths that can be observed for a single organism.
This is when a food chain doesn’t represent the energy flow in a proper manner because there are many trophic levels that interconnect. This is where a food web comes into place. It shows the interactions between different organisms in an ecosystem. The following diagram shows the energy ...
The top three structures show much lower solubility (orange bar) and higher logP (light cyan blue in the last column) than the bottom three (the azo dyes). As pointed out earlier,erythrosinehas less polar surface area than the rest of the dyes. As can be seen, this diagram of ...
