Question
Chapter 58.5, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The trophic level(s) at which decomposers feed.
Introduction: A network that represents the flow of mass and energy between different trophic levels is called the food chain. Every level of the food chain represents a trophic level. Organisms of a particular trophic level have the same feeding habits and source of mass and energy.
