The fifth trophic level consists of apex predators. This is the highest level of the food chain. Apex predators have no natural predators. Some examples of apex predators are tigers, grizzly bears, and cheetahs.
I heard it was called Apex but I'm not entirely sure
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.
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.
Its an T1 because its an producer
There are limits because remember that it's usually only 10% of energy from one level that gets passed to the next trophic level so eventually you basically have nothing more to pass that would be of any use.
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.
