Answer:

A caterpillar eats from a tree, and then is eaten by a bird. The bird is eaten by an owl. A rabbit eats grass and is eaten by a fox. A flea eats off of the fox. A caterpillar eats grass and is then eaten by a mouse. The mouse dies and is decomposed by mushrooms. A caterpillar eats grass and is then eaten by a mouse. A hawk eats the mouse, then dies and is decomposed by mushrooms.

We have two examples of food trophic web, the first is: The plant is eaten by the mouse, the snake, which feeds on the mouse, The eagle, which feeds on the snake. The second example is the phytoplankton serve as food for the krill, which serves as food for the penguin, and the seal feeds on the penguin. To understand more about levels .....

Food chain

Food chain is the sequence of feeding between living beings, in which some feed on others, ensuring their survival. From the beings that produce their own food and generate energy, a sequence (chain) develops in which one living being is consumed by another. The last animal in this chain, after its death, will serve as food for the decomposing organisms, ending the cycle.

Each part of this chain is called a trophic level (feeding level). Every time a living being eats, the energy of the food has a part used in the form of calories and another part transferred to its consumer. The original energy is lost at the time of each transfer.

Two examples of food web

  1. The plant occupies the first trophic level, that of producers (autotrophs). Next, we can see a mouse, which feeds on the plant, occupying the second trophic level, the primary consumer (herbivore). The snake, which feeds on the mouse, occupies the third trophic level, that of secondary consumer (carnivore). The eagle, which feeds on the snake, occupies the fourth trophic level, that of tertiary consumer (carnivore). Decomposers are generally not represented in chains, as they act at different trophic levels.
  2. Phytoplankton, which is made up of photosynthetic organisms, is the producer. Phytoplankton serve as food for krill, which therefore behaves as a primary consumer. Krill serves as food for the penguin, which can be classified as a secondary consumer. Finally, the seal feeds on the penguin, behaving like a tertiary consumer.

With this information, we can conclude the trophic levels of these animals and visualize the importance of the food web for the conservation of the ecosystem.
