text: A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
text: Food chains are linear (noncyclic) feeding pathways that trace monophagous consumers from a base species up to the top consumer, which is usually a larger predatory carnivore.
text: A food chain is a linear diagram showing what animals eat and what their prey eats.
text: The food chain is a linear pathway, and it comprises only one pathway.
text: A food chain is a linear illustration that depicts how nutrients and energy flow between one organism to the next in any particular ecosystem.
text: A food chain is a linear representation (a model) of how energy is dispersed through the trophic levels of an ecosystem.
text: A food chain is a linear series of links starting with one specific species that eats no other species in the web, and endling with a specific species that eaten by no other species in the web.
text: A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or trees which use radiation from the Sun to make their food) and ending at apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivores (like earthworms or woodlice), or decomposer species (such as fungi or bacteria).
text: In short, a food chain would be a linear set of interactions between species, one species at a time.
text: The food chain is a linear segment of a food web, representing only some of the possible interactions.
text: The main difference between food chain and food web is that the food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the energy and nutrients pass whereas the food web is a complex of interconnected food chains of a particular ecosystem.
text: In ecology, a food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass: primary producers, primary consumers, and higher-level consumers are used to describe ecosystem structure and dynamics.

text: a food chain tends to be linear eg he eats him who is then eaten by him only one link between two animals where as a food web is a lot of food chains interlinked so he is eaten by three people who are then eaten by four
