In the given food chain, suppose the amount of energy at fourth trophic level is 5 kJ, what will be the energy available at the producer level?
Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → Hawk
(a) 5 k J
(b) 50 k J
(c) 500 k J
(d) 5000 k J
Yes, the impact of removing all organisms in a trophic level will be different for different trophic levels. If all the producers are killed, it will cause death or migration...
(a) Grazing food chain and detritus food chain
Grazing food chain
Detritus food chain
In this food chain, energy is derived from the Sun.
In this food chain, energy comes from organic matter (or...
Removal of all the organisms in a trophic level will cause the same type of disturbance in an ecosystem, i.e., killing of higher trophic level and explosion in population of...
The first trophic level is always a green plant because only plants can utilise the radiant energy of the sun and transform it to chemical form during photosynthesis.
Removal of lions from the above food chain will increase the number of deer to such an extent that they will eat up the whole grass. The density of producer...
