Question

The energy that flows through most ecosystems comes from the sun. primary producers convert a fraction of the sun's energy into chemical energy, which can be used by consumers. food webs describe how energy flows between trophic levels in an ecosystem, and a trophic pyramid represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level. part a - identifying trophic levels in a food web

Answer 1

Answer:

Primary producers (autotroph organism), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), decomposers

Explanation:

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. The next links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

When one of the links disappears, it affects the superior links as they will not have their food source. The immediately anterior link will be beneficiated, as it will not be eaten by its predator. And finally, as this last link will overgrow, it will consume greater quantities of its food, causing a decrease in its anterior link.
