Me and sophie are doing task card eight, the topic of this card is trophic levels.
A trophic level is levels are the feeding position in a food chain such as primary producers, herbivore, primary carnivore, etc. Green plants form the first trophic level the producers. Herbivores form the second trophic level while carnivores form the third and even the fourth trophic levels. This is a food chain for a lion.

What is a trophic level?

A 'trophic level' is the name given to the different categorizations that the animals in a certain pyramid are given. Such as producers, first, second and third order consumers. Each thing is one trophic level, ie. 'producers' are the first trophic level in the pyramid.
