5 Questions
Explain the concept of food chain in an ecosystem.
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is a one-way process known as a food chain, which is the sequence of organisms through which energy flows.
What is a trophic level in an ecosystem?
Trophic level refers to the arrangement of producers and consumers in different feeding groups within an ecosystem.
Identify the different trophic levels in an ecosystem.
The different trophic levels in an ecosystem are: 1. Producers (plants) representing the first trophic level. 2. Herbivores (primary consumers) representing the second trophic level. 3. Primary carnivores (secondary consumers) representing the third trophic level. 4. Top carnivores (tertiary consumers) representing the last level. 5. Decomposers.
What is a grazing food chain?
A grazing food chain consists of consumers that utilize plants as their food source, with green plants as the starting point and herbivores as the primary consumers.
How is energy transferred in a food chain?
Energy is transferred in a food chain from producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores), then to secondary consumers (primary carnivores), and so on, until it reaches the top carnivores and decomposers.
Test your knowledge about the flow of energy in ecosystems through food chains and the transfer of energy from producers to consumers. Understand the concept of stored energy in plants and its transfer to primary and secondary consumers.
