    A food chain shows how organisms transfer energy by eating each other, starting from a primary energy source like the sun or hydrothermal vents. Primary producers like plants and bacteria make their own food from these sources using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. They are then eaten by other organisms, passing the energy between links in the chain. A food web is more complex, showing how multiple food chains interconnect within an ecosystem and how energy is distributed among organisms.

    FOOD CHAIN

    A food chain is the sequence of who eats whom in a biological community


    (an ecosystem) to obtain nutrition. A food chain starts with the primary energy
    source, usually the sun or boiling-hot deep sea vents. The next link in the chain is
    an organism that makes its own food from the primary energy source – an
    example is photosynthetic plants that make their own food from sunlight (using a
    process called photosynthesis) and chemosynthetic bacteria that make their food
    energy from chemicals in hydrothermal vents. These are called autotrophs or
    primary producers.

    FOOD WEB
    There are unique interactions and relationships which are involved in the
    transportation of energy. The energy, once produced and captured, is distributed
    throughout the various living organisms. This transfer of energy is termed as the
    food web.
