Question

Most studies of food webs do not bother with examining most of the species or even most of the organisms in the actual web. Why? How reliable are such studies? Are all organisms and all interrelationships equally important?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In a food web, the primary producers form the first trophic level and the primary consumers form the secondary trophic level. The secondary consumers and the tertiary consumers form the third and fourth trophic levels.
