Discussion:
Biodiversity; Trophic levels in an ecosystem
In an ecosystem, interaction occurs between communities. Energy is transferred from one organism to another through the food chain.
1. What are the three trophic levels? Give an example of each.
2. What trophic level do you think is the most important in the ecosystem and why?
3. What is biodiversity? Is it important? Relate biodiversity to the trophic levels.
4. What would happen to the rest of the trophic levels if one them was wiped out?
