Key Stage 4

Meaning

A trophic level is an organism's stage in a food chain.

About Trophic Levels

The trophic levels are:

  1. Producers - Organisms which made their own food by photosynthesis.
  2. Primary Consumers - Herbivores that eat producers.
  3. Secondary Consumers - Carnivores or omnivores that eat the primary consumers.
  4. Tertiary Consumers - Carnivores or omnivores which eat secondary consumers. These are often called apex predators which are not hunted by another organism.
