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.
There are only a few trophic levels in an ecosystem because as a trophic level consumes, it only reiceves 10% of the energy in the previous level. There are only few trophic levels because as the feeding levels continue (like grass --> rabbit --> hawk) energy is lost. Most of it, you learn, is lost through heat. By the time it gets to the top level, there just isn't enough energy to continue the food chain. (that's what that is). I know its hard to imagine that grass has more energy than a hawk but the grass gets energy from the sun which is a lot of energy. The person before did mention the 10% thing which is also true.
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.
Grass is typically found at the producer level in the trophic hierarchy, as it creates its own energy through photosynthesis. This means that grass is at the first trophic level in most terrestrial food chains.
1st trophic level=flowers,trees,grass & algae. 2nd trophic level=caterpillars,cow,grasshoppers & bettes. 3rd trophic level=humans,birds & frogs 4th trophic level=lions,dogs and snakes

The highest trophic level out of robin, worm, fly, and grass spider would be the robin. Robins are carnivores that prey on worms, flies, and spiders, placing them at a higher trophic level in the food chain.

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.
all organisms feed on different levels. these are called trophic levels. eg: the grass outside can be fed on by cows and horses or basically herbivores. therefore, herbivores are said to feed on one trophic level. likewise, carnivores all feed on another trophic level but omnivores can feed on two because the consume both meat and plants its food source
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
