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 :)

Energy flows from one trophic level to the next (Producer->Primary Consumer->Secondary Consumer). Energy transfer becomes less efficient as it's being transferred; seeing as it is partly used by the organism for metabolic processes.
Trophic levels have to do with food and the hierarchy of energy transimssion in food chains. For instance, in a model food chain there is a Producer, which would always be an autotroph, meaning they produce their own food. Plants, some kinds of bacteria, algae etc. Next come Consumers, that are heterotrophs, meaning they don't make their own food and so much acquire their energy by ingesting another lifeform. Primary Consumers would be the next trophic level after Producers, they're the herbivores that eat consumers. For instance, a cow (Primary Consumer) that eats grass (Producer). Secondary Consumers eat Primary Consumers. They're mostly carnivores or omnivores. For instance, humans (Secondary Consumer) eat a cow (Primary) that ate grass (Producer). The three trophic levels of that food chain schematic would be Producer -> Primary Consumer -> Secondary Consumer It can go on, some food chains have Tertiary and even Quartenary Consumers.
No, some species can feed at more than one trophic levels. For instance, humans can eat plants(first level), chickens(second level), and dogs(third level).
pandas are first trophic level consumers because they directly eat bamboo which is a producer

Yes. Plants would be the first trophic level, insects that eat the plants would be the second, and the spiders that eat the insects would be the third.
first
The trophic level a chicken is at is the secondary consumer level. Since they are omnivores, they eat other animals and plants but also get eaten themselves by other predators.
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
The trophic pyramid of seaweed would include seaweed as a producer in the area at the base of the pyramid. The seaweed is followed by grazing creatures that eat seaweed and are then eaten by predators.
