Summary Introduction
To review:
The two different trophic levels that the pigeons and peregrine falcons belong to.
Introduction:
Plant community contains different trophic levels that determine the feeding behavior of the animals in a specific community. The energy and nutrients flow from one trophic level to the next thus, forming a series of the food chain.

A black bear normally eats many different types of food. When the black bear eats berries, what trophic level is the bear?
Two species of sea urchins live practically side by side on sandy bottoms. The two species appear to have the same diet: drift seaweedsand other bits of organic matter. They are able to live in the sameenvironment with minimal competition. How might they be able toshare their habitat and food resources?

O carnivore
O primary consumer
O herbivore

- Why are food chains relatively short? O Not enough energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next to support a longer chain. O There are not enough species of carnivores to make the food chain longer. O Longer food chains require more land that is found in today's fragmented habitats. There aren't enough different plant species to support enough herbivore species to support the number of carnivore species needed for longer food chains.arrow_forwardwhy are omnivores, decomposers and detrivores not in any trophic level?arrow_forwardAn ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the relationship betweenthe different living organisms at different trophic levels.
