Food Webs

Cards (6)

  • A food web is a diagram that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem, showing which species eat other species.
  • Food webs show the feeding relationships between organisms
  • there are many different species within an environment - which means lots of different possible food chains. Food webs shows them all.
  • all the species in a food web are interdependent, which means if one species changes, it will affects all the others
  • energy flow is one way only (from producers to consumers)
  • food webs can be used to predict what might happen when there's a change in the environment or population size of any species
