What happens when an organism from a higher trophic level eats an organism from a lower trophic level?

When an organism from a higher trophic level eats one from a lower trophic level, it gains energy and nutrients from the consumed organism. This contributes to the transfer of energy through the food chain and helps regulate population sizes in the ecosystem.


The percentage of energy in one trophic level that transfers to the next level in the average ecosystem is?

Studies of a variety of communities indicate that the net transfer of energy between tropic levels is roughly 10% efficient, although transfer among levels within different communities varies significantly.

What group of organisms the second trophic level of an ecosystem?

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 :)


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.


Organisms at the first trophic level are called?

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.

Why are the numbers of trophic levels limited?

At each trophic level in a food chain, a large portion of the energy is utilized for the maintenance of organisms which occur at that trophic level and lost as heat. As a result of this, organisms in each trophic level pass on less and less energy to the next trophic levels, than they receive.


An organisms trophic level is a measure of its ability to release nitrogen into the atmosphere?

No, Trophic level is the level it is in in the food chain depending on its habitat.
