Food Chains, Food Webs and Trophic Levels | Environment

In this article we will discuss about the food chains, food webs and trophic levels of various organisms in the environment. Food Chains, Food Webs and Trophic Levels: 1. Food Chain: The transfer of food energy from the soured in plants through a series of organisms with repeated eating and being eaten, is called food chain (Fig. 48.2). a. At [...]
