Herbivores and carnivores are both types of consumers in a food web but they are on different trophic levels. Why are herbivores and carnivores on different trophic levels?

Herbivores have more available energy and are at a lower trophic level because they receive energy directly from producers.


Carnivores have more available energy and are at a lower trophic level because they receive energy directly from producers.

Answer: I would say D. Carnivores have more available energy and are at a higher trophic level because they receive energy directy from herbiores.

Explanation: The grass gets its energy from the sun, the herbivore eats the grass which then gives the energy to the herbivore, then the carnivore eats the herbivore which gives the herbivore all of it's energy.

Hope This Helps!!! Have A Great Day!!!
