Food web is helpful to determine the tropic level
Explanation:
- Organisms of different species can interact in many ways. They can compete, or they can be symbionts—longterm partners with a close association.
- they can do what we so often see in nature programs: one of them can eat the other—chomp! That is, they can form one of the links in a food chain.
- A food chain is a series of organisms that eat one another so that energy and nutrients flow from one to the next. For example, if you had a hamburger for lunch, you might be part of a food chain that looks like this: grass→ cow→human.
- The primary producers are autotrophs and are most often photosynthetic organisms such as plants, algae, or cyanobacteria.
- Primary consumers are usually herbivores, plant-eaters, though they may be algae eaters or bacteria eaters.
- Secondary consumers are generally meat-eaters—carnivores.
- The organisms that eat the secondary consumers are called tertiary consumers. These are carnivore-eating carnivores, like eagles or big fish.
- Some food chains have additional levels, such as quaternary consumers—carnivores that eat tertiary consumers. Organisms at the very top of a food chain are called apex consumers.
