A food chain follows one path of energy and materials between species. A food web is more complex and is a whole system of connected food chains. In a food web, organisms are placed into different trophic levels. ... Producers are the basic trophic level while top predators are the peak level.

Answer:

A food chain is a sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. A food chain must start with energy from the sun, have a producer (an organism that makes food by itself with energy from sun), and have at least one consumer eat and gain nutrients from another consumer or a producer. At the end of the food chain, there must be a decomposer to break down the dead animals into nutrients, which is beneficial for soil. Additionally, there must be arrows to indicate the flow of energy travelling from one organism to another. An example of a food chain would be:

sun -> roses -> caterpillar -> crows -> garter snakes -> mushrooms

Energy source: Sun

Producer: Roses

Consumer: Caterpillar

Secondary consumer: Crows

Tertiary consumer: Garter snakes

Decomposer: Mushrooms

A food web is basically an interconnection of multiple food-chains in a graphical representation to see which animal eats what and their niche (role they play in an ecological community). Here's an example of a food web (not mine, credits to creator):

How do you find the altitude of Polaris using Latitude and Longitude?
Levart [38]

Answer:

At the Equator (0° of latitude), the North Star is on the horizon, making an angle of 0°. For any point between the Equator and the North Pole, latitude is obtained simply by measuring the altitude of Polaris: at 30°N the star is 30° above the horizon, at 63°N, it is 63° above the horizon, and so on.
