Question

Trophic levels in a food chain are formed by:

• A. Producers
• B. Consumers
• C. Decomposers
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The food chain is the sequence of organisms in which each organism eats the lower member and itself is eaten by a higher member. The food chain starts with the producer or plants that convert solar energy into the usable form of energy (food) by the process of photosynthesis which is then eaten by consumers. Trophic levels in a food chain are formed by producers, consumers, and decomposers. In the given food chain, plants are producers. The animals eating plants are called primary consumers and animals eating primary consumers are called secondary consumers. Decomposers are those which decompose waste matter.

So, the correct answer is option D.
