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

• A food chain consists of only producers, while a food web includes both producers and consumers.

• A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms, while a food web is a more complex network of interconnected food chains.

• A food chain is a visual representation, while a food web is a written description.

• A food chain shows the flow of energy, while a food web shows the flow of matter.

How does the loss of one species in a tropic level affect the entire ecosystem?

• The loss of one species in a tropic level can actually improve the overall biodiversity of the ecosystem.

• The loss of one species in a tropic level only affects other species in the same trophic level.

• The loss of one species in a tropic level can disrupt the food chain and impact the overall biodiversity and stability of the ecosystem.

• The loss of one species in a tropic level has no impact on the ecosystem.
