If the 1st trophic level has 10000 kilocalories of energy how much energy will be available for trophic levels 2-4?
One million calories .
What is a tropical level?
A trophic level is the level an organism can be in in a food pyramid. Producers, Primary consumers, Secondary consumers and Tertiary consumers are all different trophic levels, from 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
Why do food chains not exceed 4 links?
because the way a food chain works is energy is transferred between trophic levels, but as you move up each trophic level, about half of the energy is lost, which means when you get to the fourth trophic level, only about 10% of the original energy is remaining, so adding another level would mean that the creature would have to consume 10 times as much of its respective prey to get the energy equivalent of 1 of the creatures at the first trophic level. so in other works, energy consumption would be too inefficient
How many trophic levels a rain forest ecosystem can support?
A rain forest ecosystem can support 3-4 trophic levels.
Why do most food chains do not extend beyond the 4 th trophic level?
The amount of energy transferred from each trophic level to the next is around 10%. This is a tiny amount. By the 4th level, there is so little energy available that it is not possible (in most cases) to support a 5th level. Generally, where a 5th level exists, the organism isn't on the 5th level for every chain it is included in. Example: Primary producer (1st level) :100 Joules Primary consumer (2nd level) : 10 J Secondary consumer (3rd level) : 1 J Tertiary consumer (4th level) : 0.1 J
What is the trophic level of the bird?
The trophic level is where an organism falls on the food chain. Most birds fall on the highest level, trophic level 4.
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.
What trophic level is a human who eats the Moray Eel?
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

Tiger trophic level?
According to the list below, tigers would be a trophic level 4 or Top Level Carnivore. Trophic levels are:1st/bottom level) Producers: Organisms that produce their own food such as plants.2nd level) Consumers: These are animals that are herbivores, they eat plants and no meat.3rd level) Secondary Consumers: These are primary carnivores and only eat meat.4th/top level) Tertiary Consumers: These are the creatures at the top of the food chain because they have no predators.

Term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a food chain?
For each step in the food chain, would be classified as a Trophic Level.For example of a 4 level chain.Grass -> Grasshopper -> Frog -> Snake
Number of trophic levels in ecological pyramid?
there can be any number of trophic levels, but usually 4-5
Why is there only 4 trophic levels?
Organisms in each trophic level pass on significantly less energy to the next trophic levels compared to what they received. As the amount of energy gets smaller, the ability to sustain life is lost, hence an unlimited number of trophic levels is not possible.
How many trophic levels a rain forest ecosystem can support?
A rain forest ecosystem can support 3-4 trophic levels.
What should you do to be a level 4 in math?
Pass level 3.
