Would zooplankton occupy a high trophic level?
No, zooplankton typically occupy a lower trophic level in aquatic food webs as they primarily feed on phytoplankton. They are a food source for many higher trophic level organisms such as fish.
Which type of organisms are in the first trophic level?
Plants, algae, and bacteria occupy the first trophic level of an organism.
Are Omnivores occupy the same trophic level as carnivores?
No, omnivores can occupy multiple trophic levels depending on their diet, as they consume both plants (primary producers) and animals (consumers). Carnivores specifically consume other animals and usually occupy a higher trophic level than omnivores.
Is it true man can occupy more than one trophic level?
No, a single individual cannot occupy multiple trophic levels. Trophic levels represent an organism's position in a food chain, with each level representing a different feeding hierarchy. An organism can only belong to one trophic level based on its primary source of energy and nutrients.
What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
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 :)
