A food web is a model that shows the complex feeding relationships among organisms in a community	My animal the ringneck snake is usually at the top of a food web because it is the usually the main predator.
In a food web if one population of an animal grows it changes the whole living status of another animal. Same if one animal population starts to die off.	For example: Trees produce acorns which act as food for many mice and insects. Because there are many mice, the snakes, and hawks, have food. The insects in the acorns also attract birds, skunks, and opossums. With the skunks, opossums, and mice around, hawks, foxes, and owls can find food. They are all connected!

A food chain is a model used to show how energy from one organism gets to another organism.	Herbivores are animals that only eat plants. They are always at the beginning of a food chain. Herbivores are the prey most of the time.
Carnivores are animals that only eat meat. So they eat the herbivores that eat the plants. Carnivores are usually at the top or middle of a food chain.	Omnivores eat both plants and meat. Because of this they are mostly always on the top of a food chain because they eat everything.
