1.	Write any two differences between food chain and food web?
Answer» Food ChainThe series of organisms of an ecosystem through which the food and energy present in it and passes with each member is called food chain. A food chain consists of producers (green plants), consumers (animals and man) and decomposers (micro organisms). Basically there are two types of food chains: grazing food chain and detritus food chain. Example of food chain: Plants --> Mice-->Snakes--> VulturesFood WebIn an ecosystem single food chains never occur. The same organisms may operate at more than one tropic level. So different food chains are inter connected. Thus, in an ecosystem several food chains are linked together and intersect each other to form a complex network called food web.Definition: A number of food chains form a interlinking pattern forming a web like arrangement known as food web.
