Key Points
- A specific place of an organism in the food chain is referred to as its "trophic level".
- Trophic levels are the stages that energy passes through as it flows through an ecosystem, from photosynthetic plants up to the top predators.
- Each level has organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to primary sources of energy.
- Here's a simple example: plants, which produce their own food, are at the first trophic level. Herbivores, which eat plants, are at the second trophic level.
- Carnivores, which eat herbivores, are at the third trophic level, and so on.
