Answer 2

Answer

$\boxed{\textbf{Components of the Ecosystem}}$

Producers

All green plants and certain blue green algae that make their own food by the process of photosynthesis are named as producers.

They are also known as autotrophs.

These are the source of nutrition for the rest of the ecosystem.

They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen and balance the composition of ecosystem.

Consumers

They are the organisms that are directly or indirectly dependent on producers for meeting their food requirements.

They are also called as heterotrophs.

Consumers can be divided into three further categories:

1. Herbivores - these are the primary or first order consumers which feed directly on producers.
2. Omnivores - these animals feed on both plants and animals.
3. Carnivores - these are the animals that feed on other animals.

The carnivores that feed on herbivores are called second order consumers.

But, some carnivores may be predators like hawks, wolves,and lions which attack and kill their preys and feed on their bodies.

Some may be scavengers like vulture, jackals that feed on dead animal that they find lying.

These are called as third order consumer.

Trophic levels

The transfer of food or energy takes place through various steps or levels in the food chain is known as trophic levels.

The producers are present at the first trophic level .

The herbivores are present at the second trophic level.

Small consumers occupy their place at the third trophic level.

The large or the tertiary consumers form the fourth trophic level.
