Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interaction between the phytoplankton, shrimp, and fish involves multiple organisms and their feeding relationships, which is better represented as a food web rather than a simple food chain. At the same time, it also involves different trophic levels, indicating the transfer of energy and nutrients between the different levels of the food web. Therefore, both options (a food web and a food chain) are correct.
