Food chains and food webs help us understand how energy moves in nature.

Food Chains:

• These are simple lines that show how one living thing is eaten by another.
• For example: Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake.
• They make it easy to see how energy moves from one creature to another.

Food Webs:

• These show a web of many food chains all connected together.
• For example, grass can feed not only grasshoppers but also rabbits. This shows more interactions.
• Food webs are more complicated and realistic because they show how different species depend on each other.

In short, food chains show clear energy paths, while food webs show the many connections among living things in nature.
