Food Chain and Energy Flow in Ecosystems Quiz

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.

Trophic level refers to the arrangement of producers and consumers in different feeding groups within 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.
