The maximum number of trophic levels in an ecosystem could be limited by factors such as climate and carrying capacity.
The lack of energy transfer from one level to the next
energy transfer between trophic levels is in almost cases less than 20% efficient
limiting factors
First trophic level (primary) - Plants, fruits and vegetables. Second trophic level (secondary) - Deer, mice, rabbits. Third trophic level (tertiary) - Eagles, wolves, wild cats.
Mosquitos can be of many different trophic levels, as they consume the blood of animals from multiple trophic levels.
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.
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
trophic as in higher trophic levels feed on lower ones
First trophic level (primary) - Plants, fruits and vegetables. Second trophic level (secondary) - Deer, mice, rabbits. Third trophic level (tertiary) - Eagles, wolves, wild cats.
The first trophic leval
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.
Scavengers are on every trophic level
first
Mosquitos can be of many different trophic levels, as they consume the blood of animals from multiple trophic levels.
Trophic level
they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
Their trophic level is primary consumer.
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.
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
