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.
The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
what is a ribbed mussel a trophic level
adaptations of a ribbed mussel are its color to camouflage itself from predators and its hard shell also to protect itself from predators
Ribbed mussels are eaten by a variety of predators including crabs, fish, and birds like seagulls. These predators play an important role in controlling ribbed mussel populations in the ecosystem.
Scavengers are on every trophic level
I have tried to find out the same exact question and all I could find was that they eat plankton and organic matter.

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.
No, a ribbed mussel is not a decomposer; it is a filter feeder. These mussels primarily feed on phytoplankton and suspended organic matter in the water by filtering it through their gills. While they play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to maintain water quality and providing habitat for other organisms, they do not break down dead organic material like decomposers do.
