Trophic Levels & Food Chain — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe consumers that feed on these herbivores are carnivores, or more correctly primary carnivores (though secondary consumers). Those animals that depend on the primary carnivores for food are labelled secondary carnivores. A simple grazing food chain (GFC) is depicted below:
Match the following: Column I A. Catabolism B. Pyramid of Numbers in tree ecosystem C. Secondary Carnivore D. GPP Column II 1. Inverted 2. Breakdown of detritus into simpler substances 3. Total photosynthesis 4. Feeds on primary carnivores
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — A–2, B–1, C–4, D–3
Catabolism degrades detritus. Tree pyramid inverted. Secondary carnivores feed on primary carnivores. GPP is total photosynthesis.
