because when the food chains goes up into the top it decreases the food or its simply when A large amount of producers at the base of the pyramid will be needed to support only a few of the consumers at the top and it called trophic level because when the food chain goes to another level it called survival of the fittest..

What trophic levels do armadillos belong to?
The trophic level is the level in the food chain that an animal occupies. The armadillo belongs to both the second and third trophic levels.
Organisms at the first trophic level are called?
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.
What is a trophic level and what determines an organism's trophic level?
A trophic level is the position an organism occupies in a food chain. It is determined by the organism's source of energy and nutrients. Primary producers occupy the first trophic level, herbivores occupy the second trophic level, and so on up the food chain.
Why are the numbers of trophic levels limited?
At each trophic level in a food chain, a large portion of the energy is utilized for the maintenance of organisms which occur at that trophic level and lost as heat. As a result of this, organisms in each trophic level pass on less and less energy to the next trophic levels, than they receive.
How are trophic level efficiency measured?
Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.
What is called when each step in a food chain or web?
the steps are known as trophic levels as move down the levels energy from the organisms tends to be lost to the environment
How is energy is transferred through trophic levels?
Trophic levels are the positions of organisms in a food chain. Energy is transferred through the trophic levels through ingestion at each level.
How iss energey transferred alonge the foodchain?
it goes through trophic levels (which is each level of the pyramid ot web or chain) The energy changes from each trophic level
What are the differences between food web and trophic levels?
Food webs are made from many food chains. A trophic level in every food chain is a stage where energy is transferred from a lower level to the next higher level. Trophic levels include producers, consumers (primary and secondary), decomposers.
What is the trophic level of a monkey?
The food web is made up of different levels labeled as trophic levels. Chimpanzee's belong on the 3rd trophic level.
Each level in a food chain is called a?
Each level in a food chain in which energy is exchanged is called a trophic order level or simply a trophic level. As a side note only ten percent of the energy exchanged between trophic levels is absorbed. For example, if a cat eats a bird only ten percent of the energy the bird contains that can be utilized cannot exceed ten percent of the total amount of energy present. (Think calories.)
What is the mosquito trophic level?
Mosquitos can be of many different trophic levels, as they consume the blood of animals from multiple trophic levels.
