Trophic Levels & Food Chain — NEET Biology
📚 Practice Concept📖 NCERT Source
The 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:
