What are the layers of the Amazon rainforest?

Answer 1

Any tropical forest is usually described in four layers. The emergent layer is a small number of trees which grow above the canopy layer. The canopy contain the majority of large trees. The understory layer is placed between the canopy and the floor, and the forest floor is the lowest layer.

Answer 2

An animals trophic level is the level which it occupies within a food chain.

The very trophic level in a food chain is the Producer.It is called the producer because it produces the energy which will later be passed through the food chain.

After the producer is the primary consumer. These are herbivores (plant eaters) as the producer in a food chain is normally a plant which produces energy using the suns light through photosynthesis.

After this are the secondary/tertiary/quaternary consumers etc. These animals are all carnivores as they eat other animals.

An important point is that food chains often only contain 3 or 4 trophic levels. This is because less and less energy is passed on to the next trophic level. So, the secondary consumer would get less energy which was originally produced by the producer than the primary consumer.

Energy is lost in a food chain because not all the energy an organism consumes goes into growth. Some energy is lost in the waste of an animal and some is just used for things like movement.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Producers, Primary consumers, secondary consumers, Tertiary consumers.

Trophic levels mean 'feeding levels' so producers make up the first trophic level. primary consumers make up the second trophic level and so on.

Answer 4

There are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers and quantadary consumers

Answer 5

I think there are 6 different trophic levels in the amazon

Answer 6

levels of energy flow

1. producer

2. consumer

3. decomposer

Answer 7

Trophic levels include producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.

Answer 8

i think it would be producer, then primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer.

Answer 9
