Why is a food web a better representation of relationships within an ecosystem than a food chain? A. A food chain shows only a single pathway of energy B.A food web shows that most organisms consume and are consumed by more than one organism. C.A food web shows a single pathway of energy flow through the ecosystem. D. A food chain shows that most organisms consume and are consumed by more than one organism.

I am thinking it's D

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Well, I'm thinking it's B because if you go to google and type in food web and then in another tab search food chain, a food chain is just one pathway.. a food web shows what each animal feeds on and is fed on. So, the food web is much more complex, which is why it is better.
