Question

What trophic level do herbivores occupy in a food chain?

Answer 1

Are there any options?

Answer 2

Heterotrophs compete for the same food source.

Heterotrophs supply food for the autotrophs.

Autotrophs and heterotrophs share the same food source.

Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.

Answer 3

I'd go with A.

Answer 4

Is there a explanation for the answer?

Answer 5

I think herbivores are at the secondary and tertiary levels of the food chain, think of what type of organisms herbivores are, and what they eat.

Answer 6

So you've got autotrophs that produce their own food using photosynthesis, while hetrotrophs include herbivores and are just above autotrophs, they gain their energy FROM autotrophs.

Answer 7

So is it the last choicet?

Answer 8

I'd go with that.

Answer 9
