Food Chains and Trophic Levels Quiz

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where each organism eats the next one in the chain, while a food web consists of multiple interconnected food chains.

Trophic levels are the hierarchical levels in a food chain, representing the position of an organism in the energy flow. Producers are at the first trophic level, followed by primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on.

The disruption of a single species in a food chain can have cascading effects throughout the ecosystem, leading to imbalances in population sizes, changes in species diversity, and potentially impacting other trophic levels.
