Which type of organisms are in the first trophic level?

Plants, algae, and bacteria occupy the first trophic level of an organism.


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 :)


Approximately what percentage of organic energy gets transferred from organisms on one trophic level to the next trophic level?

Roughly 10% of organic energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest being lost as heat or used for metabolic processes. This phenomenon is known as the 10% rule and is a fundamental concept in ecology.


What trophic level contains more energy Is it a trophic level of herbivores or a trophic level of carnivores?

The trophic level of herbivores generally contains more energy than that of carnivores. This is because energy is lost at each trophic level due to metabolic processes, with only about 10% of the energy from one level being transferred to the next. Since herbivores are primary consumers that directly consume plants (producers), they have access to the energy stored in plants, whereas carnivores (secondary consumers) rely on herbivores for their energy, resulting in a lower energy availability at their level.


What is the trophic level of potatoes?

Potatoes are classified as primary producers, placing them at the first trophic level in an ecosystem. They are photosynthetic plants that convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. As a result, they serve as a food source for herbivores, which occupy the second trophic level.

Is The sun is a producer?

yes the sun is a producer for green plants In ecology a producer is a photosynthetic green plant or chemosynthetic bacterium, constituting the first trophic level in a food chain; an autotrophic organism. So the sun is not a producer in ecological terms.

What trophic level does a moose belong to?

The trophic level for a buffalo is heterotrophic. This means that it feeds on the producers in the ecosystem which are mainly plants.


At the trophic level would you expect to find these organisms?

Without specific organisms provided, it is difficult to determine their trophic level. However, plants are typically found at the primary producer level (first trophic level), herbivores at the primary consumer level (second trophic level), carnivores at the secondary or tertiary consumer levels, and decomposers at the final trophic level.

Is a spider a the third trophic level?

Yes, a spider is typically considered to be a secondary consumer and therefore would be at the third trophic level in a food chain. Spiders feed on primary consumers such as insects, which are at the second trophic level.


Is about 50 percent of the energy available within one trophic level transferred to the next trophic level?

No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
