Trophic Level
and the
Transfer of
Learning
Objectives:
K: Distinguish the trophic levels, which are
producers, consumers, and decomposers
S: Create a pyramid of energy showing how
energy is being transferred through the
trophic levels; and
A: Recognize the importance of how energy
transfer affects our daily life.
Food
is the chronological
Chain
series of organisms in
which there is a transfer
of food energy between
the organisms through a
series of repeated
events of eating and
being eaten.
Trophic Levels
• Trophic levels are the
feeding positions that
biotic components.
occupy on the food
chain.
• Trophic derives from
the Greek word,
‘trophe’ which means
food or feeding.
Producer
• also known as
autotrophs.
• they form the
base of the food
chain, providing
energy for all
other organisms.
Consume
rheterotrophs.
• also known as

• are organisms that


cannot manufacture
their own food and
need to consume
other organisms.
Decomposer
• break down dead
plant, animal
material and waste
and release it again
as energy and
nutrients into the
ecosystem for

The Energy Transfer
Energy is transferred from one trophic
level to the next when an organism
eats another organism. But, only
about 10% of the energy from one
trophic level is transferred to the
next. This is called the 10% rule.
