1. Primary Producers (e.g. plants, algae)
2. Herbivores, also called Primary Consumers
3. Carnivores and Omnivores (which eat herbivores), also called Secondary Consumers
4. Carnivores (which eat other carnivores), also called Tertiary Consumers
5. Apex Predators (carnivores with no predators)
6. Detritivores (e.g. bacteria, fungi), also called Decomposers*
No. 6 is not usually included in the food chain, however they consume any dead organisms and restart the chain.
Primary Producers are known as Autotrophs as they can produce their own food, but from Stages 2 to 6 the organisms are known as Heterotrophs as they rely on other organisms (the trophic level below them) for nutrients.
name the trophic level both names
Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.
Producers are plants, and are found on the first trophic level. Consumers are normally animals, and they comsume the plants or other animals that have eaten the plant before them. These consumers are found on the second trophic level and upwards, depending on how the consume the energy that originated from the plant.
The first trophic level, which are the producers
Primary producers are the bottom most 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 :)
Trophic Level
consumer
Scavengers are on every trophic level
The trophic level is where an organism falls on the food chain. Most birds fall on the highest level, trophic level 4.
they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.
Their trophic level is primary consumer.
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
In which trophic level are all plants found?
Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.
Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.
Producers make up the first trophic level. A trophic level is each step in a food chain or food web is called a trophic level.
