Food web

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004580

A complex network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem, illustrating the multiple feeding relationships among different species. It provides a more realistic representation of energy flow and nutrient cycling than a simple food chain. Organisms often occupy multiple trophic levels within a food web.
