Answer: Food webs are used to depict the flow of energy through an ecosystem, as well as the relationships that exist between organisms in an ecosystem. These food webs do not, however, provide detailed information on the relative size of each population. 

Energy pyramids clearly show how the amount of energy decreases as it flows from producers at the bottom of the food chain to tertiary consumers at the top of the food chain. A food web demonstrates energy flow and different relationships within an ecosystem.
