Difference between a food chain and a food web

Food chain vs Food web class 10 science


Food chain - 

  1. It is the flow of energy from a low trophic level to a high level in a single straight path.
  2. It contains a straight chain.
  3. There is only a linear route of energy and nutrient flow.
  4. This is increasing as the number of isolated and limited food chains is increasing.
  5. Collects 4-6 trophic levels of different species.
  6. Members at high trophic levels eat organisms similar to those at lower trophic levels.
  7. If only one group of organisms is disturbed, the entire network will be affected.
  8. Dependency - Typically, a member at a high trophic level depends on an organism at the same or lower trophic level.
  9. Food chain Examples - Grazing food chain and detritus food chain.

Food web

  1. These are several connected food chains through which energy flows in the habitat.
  2. It contains various interconnected food chains.
  3. There are multiple interconnected pathways through which nutrients and energy flow.
  4. It grows because of its complex food chains.
  5. It is a collection of different trophic levels of various species.
  6. High trophic level members feed on different types of organisms at low trophic levels.
  7. If a group of organisms gets removed, it will not affect the food web.
  8.  Dependency - In the food web, members at high trophic levels depend on or feed on various organisms at low trophic levels.
  9. Examples - No type.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
