Question

write a short note on trophic level

Answer 1

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 path

Answer 2

1. An organism's trophic level is determined by where it sits in the food chain.
2. A food chain is a series of organisms that consume one another and may eventually consume themselves. .
3. The distance an organism is in the food chain from the beginning determines its trophic level.
4. A food web typically ends with apex predators at trophic levels 4 or 5.
5. A food web begins at trophic level 1 with primary producers like plants, then can move to herbivores at level 2, carnivores at level 3 or higher, and so on. 6. A food "web" or a one-way flow can form along the chain's course. More diverse ecological groups provide trophic routes that are more intricate.
