Mosquitos can be of many different trophic levels, as they consume the blood of animals from multiple trophic levels.
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
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
The antonyms of trophic level would be non-trophic level or abiotic level, referring to components of an ecosystem that are not part of the food chain or do not involve energy transfer through consumption.
If the first trophic level has 300,000 kilocalories and there is a 90 percent loss of energy between trophic levels, then only 10 percent of the energy is passed on to the next level. Therefore, the second trophic level would have 30,000 kilocalories (10% of 300,000). Applying the same loss rate, the third trophic level would have 3,000 kilocalories (10% of 30,000).
Yes it is>
A mosquito larvae is a consumer, but only at the most basic level. With regards to its trophic level, it is a primary consumer. With regards to its feeding habits, it is a filter feeder.

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.
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.
Their trophic level is primary consumer.
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.

Its an T1 because its an producer
The energy transfer from mosquito larvae to sunfish is typically quite low due to the inefficiencies in the food chain. Generally, only about 10% of the energy consumed by one trophic level is passed on to the next, a principle known as the 10% rule. Therefore, if a sunfish consumes mosquito larvae, it would receive only a fraction of the energy that the larvae obtained from their own food sources. This means that the energy transfer is minimal, reflecting the natural energy loss at each trophic level.
