Question

Why organisms in food chains are grouped into categories?

(a) To form community

(b) To share the energy

(c) To form trophic levels

(d) To get more energy

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Food Chains topic in chapter Ecosystems of Energy Management

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) To form trophic levels

The explanation: Trophic levels are the levels within the food chain where an organism obtains its energy. This energy depends on whether the organism is producers, consumers or decomposers. The number of trophic levels in food chains varies from three to five.
