What is the role of a owl in the food web?

Owls are tertiary consumers in the food web, preying on rodents, insects, and other small animals. By controlling the populations of these prey species, owls help maintain balance in the ecosystem. They also provide a source of food for other predators.


Food web of an owl?

An owl is a tertiary consumer in a food web, feeding on small mammals such as mice, voles, and squirrels. The primary consumers in the owl's food web are herbivores like insects and small birds, while the secondary consumers are predators like snakes and hawks that eat the primary consumers. The food web also includes decomposers like bacteria and fungi that break down dead organisms.


Can you name four trophic levels?

1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.


Examples of secondary consumers?

Secondary consumers eat herbivores, which are primary consumers. An example of this would be a lion that eats a zebra. The zebra is a herbivore and so the lion is a secondary consumer. Almost all carnivores are secondary consumers.
