A community is a group of organisms of different species that live in the same place (habitat). Sometimes one animal will eat another. The transfer of energy from one organism to another in the community is modelled using food chains and food webs.
Food Webs
In a community, an organism usually feeds on several different types of food. Instead of one simple food chain there are many food chains that share the same organisms. If all the food chains are put together a food web is made. The arrows show the direction in which the energy flows.
