what is the lowest trophic level

OpenStudy (liziekay):

First trophic level. The plants in this image, and the algae and phytoplankton in the lake, are primary producers. They take nutrients from the soil or the water, and manufacture their own food by photosynthesis, using energy from the sun. The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food chain.
