Answer: Food chains show a single path of energy in an ecosystem, and food web show all the overlapping food chains in that ecosystem.

Food chain is a linear food distribution channel where one organism is fed by the other in order to gain energy. Food chain involves the unidirectional flow of energy starting from lower most trophic level to higher trophic level. This energy distribution is according to the 10% law which suggest that energy at the lowest trophic level is the maximum which decreases by 10% on reaching subsequent higher trophic levels. Therefore, highest trophic level in the food chain receives the least energy. For example, plants are the primary producers of the ecosystem having highest energy these are fed by small animals like goat which are primary consumers, goat further eaten by fox ,which is secondary consumer. Lastly, the fox is eaten by lion ,which is a tertiary consumer. Here, lion will receive the lowest energy among all the trophic levels. Food web is an interconnection between overlapping food chains in an ecosystem. In a food web, food chains are dependent on each other for their food and energy requirements.

Which of these microbes has the most complex cell wall?
vivado [14]
Plant cells have what is perhaps the most complex outer coverings. Plant cell walls are made largely of cellulose which forms strong, highly rigid, almost indigestible coverings that protect the cell and gives it shape.

Mycoplasma mycoides is of particular interest because:
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: It has multiple nuclei, It is one of the smallest of cells with among the smallest of genomes.

Explanation:

Mycoplasma mycoides is a bacterial strain of the genus Mycoplasma. It belongs to the class of Mollicutes. This is parasitic in nature. It lives in the ruminants.  It is smallest known bacteria that does not posses the cell wall. It is present everywhere as a pathogen. It's function is to interfere with the ability of the virus to affect the mammalian cells. It posses multiple nuclei.

It is smallest free-living single celled organism. Due to the small size the entire genome can be sequenced. It can be useful for purpose of research and it is of particular interest because of it's small cell size and multiple nuclei. It serves as a model organism to study the bacterial evolution.
