What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
What is an example of an animal that fill more that one trophic level?
Any omnivore is in more than one trophic level, such as a chicken that eats both heterotrophs (worms) and autotrophs (grain)
Why do biologists measure the number of trophies levels in an ecosystem measure the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem?
To check its stability and health
Why are there always fewer tertiary consumers than producers in an ecosystem?
Only 10% of energy is moved from one trophic level to another in the biomass consumed. So, at the tertiary level there is only enough food energy to support a limited number of consumers. As the number of trophic levels increases, you also have to be more adapted so you can become a predator of the trophic levels below you. If for example there was a species that were above humans, they would have to be smarter, quicker and more adapted - which gets progressively harder.
Do zebras receive all the energy from the grass it eats?
No. This is because of the 10 percent rule. You only get 10% of the energy from the animal/plant consumed. For each trophic level the actual amount of energy absorbed is much less than the trophic level before it. For example, the grass gets 10% of the energy from the sun. The zebra gets 10% of the 10% that the grass got. The hungry lion only gets 10% of the little 10% of the 10% from the grass that the zebra get. It's a little confusing, but it does make sense. Lets do it in terms of muffins. You have 100 muffins. I'm in the next trophic level, so I get 10 muffins. The next tropic level above me only gets 1 muffin. The trophic level above that one only gets 0.1 of that muffin.
To what does the tropic level of an animal refer?
The trophic level of an animal refers to its place on the energy pyramid. Its trophic level shows what the animal eats and how much energy it gets.
At what trophic level are these species?
Many different animal species are placed at many different trophic levels. Insects for example tend to be on a low trophic level.
What trophic levels do armadillos belong to?
The trophic level is the level in the food chain that an animal occupies. The armadillo belongs to both the second and third trophic levels.
Diagram of the animal cell?
neat diagram
What is the relationship between the trophic level of an organism and the concentration of DDT in its body?
If an animal on a high trophic level eats other organisms on a lower trophic level effected by DDT, the animals level will be affected.
Is it possible to construct male clone animal?
not possible
What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
Can an organism fill up more than one trophic level?
Yes it can depending only on the animal that you are using, if the animal is an omnivore, yes, if its only a carnivore or herbivore, then no the consumer cant take up more then one spot on the trophic levels.
Of energy gained compare to the amount of energy lost as heat at the second through fourth trophic levels?
As you climb trophic levels the general amount of energy lost is 90% so you get about 1/10 of the energy that was consumed by the animal per trophic level.
What part of the soil is formed by the decaying plant and animal remains?
The uppermost layer of the soil which is the O-horizon, and is called "Humus".
What Venn diagram represents the statement If it is a horse it is an animal?
(horse(horse&animal)animal)
Each organism in an ecosystem is at a specific feeding stage called as the?
Habitat
