Question

The interlocking pattern of various food chains is referred as food web.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In nature, some organisms operate in the ecosystem not just at a single trophic level but more than one trophic level. It means that it may derive its food from more than one source. The organism may get eaten itself by another organism of a higher trophic level. It may also feed on different organisms of lower trophic levels. In this way, various food chains are linked together in an ecosystem and the intersection of these food chains forms a complex network called the food web.

Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.

So, the correct answer is 'True'.
