A food web describes the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem, while a food chain is a linear path through a food web. Distinguish between food chains and food webs as models of energy flow in ecosystems. Organisms can be organized into trophic levels: primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary or higher-order consumer.
Shirley Chisholm, the first African American congresswoman to be elected in the House of Representatives, gave a speech called âEqual Rights for Women,â in Washington D.C. on May 21, 1969 to the House of Representatives. Her main argument was how the issue of gender discrimination in the workforce was prevalent and unfair. (Chisholm).
Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 30, 1924, Chisholm was the oldest of four daughters to immigrant parents Charles St. Hill, a factory worker from Guyana, and Ruby Seale St. Hill, a seamstress from Barbados. She graduated from Brooklyn Girlsâ High in 1942 and from Brooklyn College cum laude in 1946, where she won prizes on the debate team.
