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
With the increase of the tropic level, there is a loss of energy. It is averaged that each organism consumes 10% of the energy from the organism that it eats. Because of this loss of energy, the animals at the higher tropic levels eat more, and hence, eat more toxins. The toxins accumulate in the fat of the animals, and just continue to increase.
they eat stuff such as fruit mainly
A bighorn sheep is a pomary consumer because they eat the producers. Primary consumers are herbivores that eat the first tropic level vegetation. Plants are the first tropic level producers.

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.

Euglena is considered a dual organism because it exhibits characteristics of both plants (such as chlorophyll for photosynthesis) and animals (such as the ability to move using a flagellum and ingest food). This makes it unique as it can perform both autotrophic and heterotrophic activities depending on its environment.
why does an organisms eat another organisms
At each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The total energy passed from one level to the next is only about one-tenth of the energy received from the previous organism.
no because organisms such as humans are omnivores they can eat both meat and plants and may act as 1st,2nd or 3rd level heterotroph
