The trophic level of an photosynthetic organisms

mass of organisms in organism refers to its position which use energy from
each trophic level of in the food chain, food web or light to produce biomass
a food chain. Level The final trophic pyramid of biomass (about 1% of light is used)
one is at the bottom level is made from
apex predators which
are carnivores with Trophic levels Level two - primary
no predators e.g. consumers, herbivores eat
humans plants/algae
Decomposers break down
Pyramids of biomass dead organisms using
extracellular digestion Level three - secondary
consumers, carnivores eat
herbivores
7.4 TROPHIC LEVELS IN AN ECOSYSTEM
(biology only)
Level four - tertiary
consumers, carnivores eat
Biomass is lost between trophic levels: Transfer of biomass secondary consumers
● Not all plant/animal material digested
● Biomass lost through excretion/decay
● Biomass used in other processes e.g. Biomass is created by
movement and keeping warm producers and is passed
along the food chain
About 10% transferred to next level. through feeding
