1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.)

2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.)

3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes)

4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans)

There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.

Why most communities have only about three or four trophic levels?

Most communities have only three or four trophic levels because energy transfer between levels is inefficient, with energy lost as heat at each transfer. This limits the number of trophic levels that can be supported by available energy. Additionally, top predators at higher trophic levels require large territories, which limits their abundance in a community.


How many trophic levels are in the food chain?

Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
