What is the difference between a food web and a food chain?
A food web consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem.
A food chain is a group of organisms linked in order of the food they eat, from producers to consumers, and from prey, predators, scavengers, and decomposers.
What is the difference between a producer and a consumer?
A producer is an organisms that produce their own food from substances like water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.
A consumer is an organism that cannot make its own food, but have to feed on producers and other consumers to survive.
What is a watershed?
