A food web is a collection of various food chains that illustrates the energy cycle of a specific ecosystem. The food chain, on the other hand, focuses on a specific biome’s cycle of energy but is limited in its scope. A food web has a larger range than a food chain; therefore an organism central to the food web is disturbed, then an ecosystem collapse will occur. But this does not mean that a disturbance in the food chain has a lower environmental impact than that of the food chain. This wholly depends on the position of the organism concerning its placement in the food web and the food chain.
