At which trophic level will you place vulture in food chain
Answers
Detrivores and Decomposers
Explanation:
A food chain is a linear network which represents the transfer of energy. The energy flows in a unidirectional direction using the ten per cent law.
The hierarchy in the food chain is represented in the form of pyramid where the producers are present at the bottom. The primary consumers eat producers and are followed by secondary producers, then tertiary producer, apex producer and then Detrivores and decomposers.
The detrivores and decomposer form the last part of the food chain as they feed on the non-living animal and plants. Since the Vultures feed on the dead animals and plants, therefore, they are known as the detrivores.
Thus, Detrivores and decomposers are the correct answer.
