Question

What is the trophic level of a bamboo plant growing in a far-off forest?

• A. First trophic level $\left(T_1\right)$
• B. Second trophic level $\left(T_2\right)$
• C. Third trophic level $\left(T_3\right)$
• D. Fourth trophic level $\left(T_4\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A First trophic level $\left(T_1\right)$

The bamboo plants are producers. Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The first trophic level is occupied by producers. So they belong to the first trophic level $\left(T_1\right)$.
The Second trophic level is occupied by primary consumers which feed on the producers. The third trophic level is occupied by the secondary consumers which feed on secondary consumers. Carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers belong to the fourth trophic level.
