The difference between a food chain and a food web:

<u>Food Chain</u>

- Only one possible direct line of energy going through organisms

- Consists of usually 4-6 organisms

<u>Food Web</u>

- Multiple links  that branch off in a web-like form, with some organisms being interconnected with each other.

<u>The answer is the third option: A food chain represents one possible pathway that energy and matter can take in an ecosystem. A food web contains multiple, interconnected food chains and describes how energy and matter moves through an entire ecosystem.</u>
