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.

When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well.
From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training.
Select all that apply.
An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day.
How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity.
Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake.
Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein.
The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
When taking vitamins and vitamin-mineral supplements, how can one be sure they are getting what they are taking?
How many milligrams of zinc did you consume on average per day over the 3 days? (See the Actual Intakes vs. Recommended Intakes Report with all days checked.)
Enter the number of milligrams of zinc rounded to the first decimal place in the box below.
