1st trophic level=flowers,trees,grass & algae.
2nd trophic level=caterpillars,cow,grasshoppers & bettes.
3rd trophic level=humans,birds & frogs
4th trophic level=lions,dogs and snakes
Not all organisms do eat a variety of foods.
A carnivore or predator.
consumers are organisms that eat other organisms. Depends on what level consumer it is ;).
first level consumers

The biomass of each organism decreases with each level. With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.

No, because even though humans are placed on a lower tropic level than lions, sharks, wolves, etc. they still eat organisms like those. Humans eat shark and other meat from organisms higher than them on the tropic level pyramid.
nutrients
Because there is less energy available at each feeding level, there is a limit to how many organisms can be a part of each progressive 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 :)
That's where an organism fits in the food chain. Like, a Hawk will eat a snake; a snake will eat a mouse; a mouse will eat a grasshopper; a grasshopper eats plants. The hawk is at the top of the trophic level pyramid in this example.
