Question

What are trophic levels? Define each level with an example

Answer 1

Hey Mate..

The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food chain. A food chain is a succession of organisms that eat other organisms and may, in turn, be eaten themselves. The trophic level of an organism is the number of steps it is from the start of the chain.

A food chain starts at trophic level 1 with primary producers such as plants, can move to herbivores at level 2, carnivores at level 3 or higher, and typically finish with apex predators at level 4 or 5. The path along the chain can form either a one-way flow or a food "web". Ecological communities with higher biodiversity form more complex trophic paths.

Hope it helped

Answer 2

trophic level is the group of organisms within an ecosystem which occupy the same level in a food chain. ... The second trophic level consists of herbivores, these organisms gain energy by eating primary producers and are called primary consumers. Trophic levels three, four and five consist of carnivores and omnivores.
