Food Webs |
| A food web is a community of organisms where there are several interrelated steps by the fact that each menber of the group feeds on the one below it and is in turn eaten by the organism above. |
| The food chain demonstates how all living things
depend on each other to survive. While being food for animals higher
in the food chain, these animals may eat other animals or plants to survive.
The food chain is a complex balance of life. If one animals source of food
disappears, such as from over fishing or hunting, many other animals in
the food chain are impacted and may die. In a food chain the red squirrel
eats the red oak and the deer tick eats the red squirrel. |
