Chapter 29, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The definition of producer and the trophic level occupy by it. Also state the importance of producer in the ecosystem.
Introduction:
Trophic levels within the ecosystem represent the feeding relationship within communities. All the trophic levels in ecosystem are interconnected. The various trophic levels exist in the ecosystems include the producers, consumers, detritivores, and the decomposers. Producers form the first trophic level within the ecosystem. Detritivores and decomposers form the final trophic level.
