| food chain |
A way of showing the food relationships among organisms. The food chain describes what eats what. An example would be that zebras eat grass and lions eat zebras. A food web is the weaving together of food chains, showing all the food relationships in a given area. Any animal eating any part of a food chain is included in the food web.
