A given species may occupy more than one trophic level in the same ecosystem at the same time. Explain with an example |
|
Answer» A snake eating a mouse in a field/lawn occupies the third trophic level in the food chain. When the snake eats frog in the same field, it occupies the 4th trophic level in a food chain it is because the frog feeds on some of the insects which depends on the plants. Plants → Insects → Frog → Snake Thus in the same ecosystem one animal (snake) occupies more than one trophic level at the same time as it cannot satisfy its food need from one trophic level. |
