Explore how organisms in a community connect through food relationships. This quiz teaches you to read and interpret food webs, understand how energy flows from one organism to another, and recognize the complex feeding patterns that make up a healthy ecosystem. **What you'll learn:** - How food webs show multiple feeding relationships in a community - How to read and interpret arrows in a food web - Why one organism can eat many different foods and be eaten by many predators - How food webs are more realistic than simple food chains
