Producers->plants
Consumers->herbivores
Secondary Consumers->carnivore that feeds on herbivores
Tertiary Consumers->feed on carnivores
Sun=energy source for producers
decomposers are the greatest in amount of biomass, serving as the foundation of the biomass pyramid.
Ordered by increasing biomass from lowest to highest by a total energy conversion being an average of 10% total energy conversion in each succeeding biomass classification. to understand this, pretend the decomposers have a biomass of 100,000, each level of biomass above decomposers, is divided by 10 to show approximate (obviously not nearly infallible) biomass value.
Decomposers X 100,000 (mushrooms, decomposing bacteria etc.)
producers X 10,000
consumers X 1,000
secondary consumers X 100
tertiary consumers X 10
there ya have it.. just rambled, hopefully this helped!
The levels of a food web represent the energy.
A food web is a diagram that shows the feeding relationships between different organisms in an ecosystem. The arrows in a food web represent the flow of energy and nutrients as one organism is consumed by another. They point from the organism being eaten to the organism doing the eating.
Transfer of energy
trophic levels.
The benefits of diversification in a food web include improving levels of food supply and closing nutrition gaps.

The term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a biological community is a trophic level. Trophic levels represent the different levels in a food chain or food web where organisms obtain their energy.
To determine the number of trophic levels in a food web, you need to identify the different layers of energy transfer, starting from producers (like plants) at the base, followed by primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and so on. Typically, there can be anywhere from 3 to 5 trophic levels in a food web, but the exact number depends on the specific organisms and interactions present in that web. If you provide details about the food web, I can help you identify the specific trophic levels.
This also applies to a food chain - The arrows in a food web represent the flow of energy through the web, further along the arrows/web means that less energy is moving along. The energy flows through arrow to the next consumer, the energy moving through the arrows have less and less energy as the web moves on. To put it in (much) simpler terms, the thing its pointing to eats the other thing.
If one of the food sources were removed from a web then almost all the other animals would also die.
The different levels in a food chain are known as trophic levels. There are multiple levels, starting at the bottom with autotrophs, mostly plants that make their own food, and ending with apex predators, that are at the top and have no predators of their own.
