Food Chain
A food chain is an ecosystem, where each organism serves as a source of food or energy for the next organism in the chain. Typically, a food chain starts with a primary producer, which converts sunlight or inorganic compounds into organic matter through photosynthesis.
The primary producer is then consumed by a primary consumer, which is in turn consumed by a secondary consumer, and so on.

Pyramid of Ecology
Ecological Pyramids are diagrams that represent the relative amounts of organism at each trophic level in a food chain
Pyramids of numbers
Which represent the numbers of organisms in each trophic level in a food chain, irrespective of their mass
Pyramids of Biomass
which show the total mass of the organisms in each trophic level, irrespective of their numbers
Food web
In a food web, different trophic levels, or feeding levels, are represented by different organisms. At the base of the food web are primary producers, such as plants or algae, which produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Primary consumers, such as herbivores, eat the primary producers, and are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, such as carnivores. Tertiary consumers, such as predators, eat the secondary consumers
