Food webs and Food chains
Food web
A food web starts out with a producer which in the example above is a tree. The goat, the rabbit, and the mouse each consume the tree. Then those animals are consumed by others. In the example, that process continues until the lion.
Food Chain
Above is an example of a food chain. It starts out with the sun shining on the plants that have grown. Then the grasshopper comes along and consumes the grass. The mouse eats the grasshopper, the snake eats the mouse then the hawk eats the snake. The hawk then decomposes and the process starts over again.
