Answers. 1  A food chain is the what animal eats what animal. It really should be called a food web because many animals eat many other animals. The food web is a representation of an energy pyramid. An energy pyramid just shows where the energy is going. The sun is at the bottom, then plants and so on. There really are not many differences between them.
A food web (or food cycle) is the natural interconnection of food chains and generally a graphical representation (usually an image) of what-eats-what in an ecological community. Another name for food web is a consumer-resource system. Sink web-one or more node(s), all of their prey, all the food that these prey eat, and so on. 2  Community (or connectedness) web-a group of nodes and all the connections of who eats whom. 3  Energy flow web-quantified fluxes of energy between nodes along links between a resource and a consumer.
