Chapter 24.2, Problem 1CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Difference between a grazing food web and a detrital food web with example of each
Introduction:
Food chain: Linear sequence of transfer of nutrient and energy in the form of food from the organism of one trophic level to the organism of another trophic level
Food web: Non-linear web of interlinked food chain. It provides the complex network in which one organism has alternate food sources.
