To be able to identify the trophic levels in the ecosystem, they need to have a clear understanding of certain key concepts that will help them advance in their study: 4. What would happen if a link in the food chain were to disappear? 2. How many trophic levels does a food chain have? 3. What trophic level do carnivores such as lions and snakes that feed on herbivores belong to? Answers Expected answers 1. The next higher level will be overpopulated. 4. The level just below it would overpopulate, as there would no longer be a predator. 2. A food chain does not have more than five (5) trophic levels. 2. A food chain does not have more than four (4) trophic levels. 3. Secondary consumers. 3. Secondary consumers.Setoudiass Golo SESE Ne) 3 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS What would happen if one of the three roles were removed from the food chain in this laboratory? The chain would be cut off abruptly. Name the species that are decomposers in this practice: Bacteria Name the species that are producers in this practice: Plants Name the species that are primary consumers and secondary consumers in this practice: Animals. A food chain can be described as an interdependent relationship. Why? Because each level depends on anotherfor their energy intake. What is the importance of photosynthesis in a food chain? Making the producer self- sufficient, because if the producer couldn't feed itself, it wouldn't be a producer.Setoudiars Holey SESE Ne) 3 ASSEMBLY - 4 LINKS DIAGRAM - 4 LINKS
