A trophic level is each step in a food chain that demonstrates the transfer of energy.
A trophic level is any feeding level in a food chain through which energy in the form of food is transferred in an ecosystem. A food chain contains five main trophic levels which are; (i) primary producers (autotrophs; plants and algae), (ii) primary consumers (herbivores), (iii) Secondary consumers (carnivores and omnivores), (iv) Tertiary consumers (carnivores and omnivores) and (v) Apex predators.
