What is the difference between a food web and a food chain?

• A food chain is a series of steps in an ecosystem in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten, while a food web shows the relationship between all the species in a community.

• A food chain is a visual representation of the energy flow between organisms, while a food web is a list of all the producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem.
