Question

How many trophic levels are there typically in a community

Answer 1

Trophic levels make up the food chain. All food chains and webs have at least two or three trophic levels. Normally,  the maximum trophic levels are four.  

The levels are:

1:  Plants and algae (producers).

2: Herbivores (primary consumers).

3: Carnivores (secondary consumers).

4: Carnivores that eat other carnivores (tertiary consumers).

However, many consumers also feed at more than one trophic level.
