Why is the number of trophic level that can exist limited?
All sources of energy come from the sun. Autotrophs make their own energy through photosynthesis by collecting energy from the sun. When an organism (herbivore) at the next trophic level eats them they only get approximately 10% of the energy that the first organism had. When another organism eats the animal that ate the plate they only get approximately 10% of the energy of what that animal got from the previous animal. So this animal only got 1% of the energy from the sun. If more trophic levels existed they would only get 10% of this 1% so would not get enough energy (approximately 0.1%) so is why trophic levels are limited.
What is the trophic level of a jaguar?
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.
What would biomass tell us that a pyramid of numbers wouldn't?
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.
Organism A reproduces by budding Organism B reproduces through fission Each Organism reproduces an offspring in 12 hours After 36 hours which organism will have more offspring?
if both organisms repoduce an offspring every 12 hours then they would have the same number of offspring neither would be greater.
What is the smallest unit of an organism that has a specific function?
The smallest unit of an organism would be the epithelial cell I think... The function would be to protect or cover the body, I don't know okay!
What are antonyms of trophic level?
The antonyms of trophic level would be non-trophic level or abiotic level, referring to components of an ecosystem that are not part of the food chain or do not involve energy transfer through consumption.
Which trophic level would eat a producer?
no
Is a spider a the third trophic level?
Yes, a spider is typically considered to be a secondary consumer and therefore would be at the third trophic level in a food chain. Spiders feed on primary consumers such as insects, which are at the second trophic level.
At the trophic level would you expect to find these organisms?
Without specific organisms provided, it is difficult to determine their trophic level. However, plants are typically found at the primary producer level (first trophic level), herbivores at the primary consumer level (second trophic level), carnivores at the secondary or tertiary consumer levels, and decomposers at the final trophic level.
In which trophic level would snakes and hawks belong?
the third level.
What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
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 :)
What tropic level does a white tiger occupy?
its in the trophic level it lives in.. its in the trophic level it lives in..

Would zooplankton occupy a high trophic level?
No, zooplankton typically occupy a lower trophic level in aquatic food webs as they primarily feed on phytoplankton. They are a food source for many higher trophic level organisms such as fish.
What is trophic mass?
Trophic mass refers to the total biomass within a specific trophic level in an ecosystem. It represents the combined weight of all organisms at that trophic level and is crucial for understanding energy flow and ecological relationships within food chains and food webs.
How much energy is available at the third tropic level of an energy pyramid if 1000 kcal is available in the first level?
In an energy pyramid, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is available to the next level. Therefore, if 1000 kcal is available at the first trophic level, approximately 100 kcal would be available at the second trophic level. At the third trophic level, only about 10% of that energy would be available, resulting in roughly 10 kcal.
Which trophic level would you find detritivores?
Detrivores are the organisms break down and feed on deed organic matter. the can be found in the second trophic level, along with herbivores.
