An amoeba is a primary consumer, also known as a first-order consumer, which places it at the second trophic level in a food chain. As a primary consumer, it primarily feeds on producers such as algae or bacteria. In the trophic hierarchy, primary consumers are followed by secondary consumers (predators that feed on primary consumers), tertiary consumers (predators that feed on secondary consumers), and so on.
An amoeba is a primary consumer, also known as a herbivore or a heterotroph. As a single-celled organism, it feeds on smaller organisms such as bacteria, algae, and other microscopic organisms through a process called phagocytosis. This feeding level places the amoeba at the second trophic level in a food chain or food web.
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
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 :)
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.

Scavengers are on every trophic level
The trophic level is where an organism falls on the food chain. Most birds fall on the highest level, trophic level 4.
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.
Their trophic level is primary consumer.
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.

Its an T1 because its an producer
Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
