Generation

A food web is a complex network showing how multiple food chains interconnect within an ecosystem, illustrating the feeding relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers. Energy flows from the sun through producers (plants) to various levels of consumers, with each transfer following the **10% Rule**: only about 10% of energy passes from one trophic level to the next, while 90% is lost as heat. This can be expressed as: **Energy at trophic level = Energy at previous level × 0.10**. Food webs are more realistic than simple food chains because most organisms consume multiple food sources and serve as prey for multiple predators.
