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 :)
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
no
if trophic level is a food chain then a food pyramid would be opposite.
Humans belong to the third trophic level. Humans belong to the third trophic level if they are omnivorous, however there are many humans who are vegetarian or even vegan, and these humans would be considered second trophic level consumers. This is because they only eat producers (flora).
Detrivores are the organisms break down and feed on deed organic matter. the can be found in the second trophic level, along with herbivores.

primary producer
It is a trophic level.Trophic Level.
Human trophic level varies. If the individual in question ate only moray eels (who are independently about a trophic level of 4, on account of being mostly piscivorous) then I imagine the human would be at a similar level. If the eel made up a part of an otherwise omnivorous diet, then I expect the person's trophic level to be closer to 2.5-3.0
A pyramid of numbers will only tell you the amount of organisms at each trophic level. A Biomass pyramid ignores the amount of organisms in favour of their biomass (dry weight) which in turn represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level.
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.

the third level.
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.
