A parasitic mite species living in the feathers of an owl feeds on the owl's feathers and skin. The owl feeds on mice. The mice feed on seeds of various plants. The mite is at which trophic level?
A. Fifth
B. Fourth
C. Third
D. Second
E. First
Homework Answers
ANSWER : A - Fifth
A trophic level is the group of organisms within an ecosystem which occupy the same level in a food chain.
- Tropic level 1 : Primary producers like plans and algae that utilizes energy from sun.
- Tropic level 2 : Herbivores that depend on plants and algae for food .Eg : mice
- Tropic level 3: Carnivores that eat animals as their food. Eg : owl
- Tropic level 4 : Omnivores that eats plants and animals as their food .
- Tropic level 5 : Apex predators like detrivores , which consume dead plant and animal material, converting it into energy and nutrients that plants can use for effective growth. Eg : mites.

Use the following information for the NEXT 5 QUESTIONS Soapberry bugs are found in the southern U.S. including Oklahoma. They feed only on plants in the family Sapindaceae by inserting their piercing mouthparts into the fruits and sucking the contents of the seeds. The lengths of the "beaks" of these bugs reflect the size of the fruits on which they feed. Those populations that feed on big fruits tend to have long beaks; those feeding on smaller fruits have short...

Name: 18. In the northern Pacific Ocean sea otters feed on sea urchins and on starfish. sea urchins Teed on kelp and starfish feed on mussels. Beginning in the 1700s, sea otters were hunted for theirfur and driven nearly to extinction in some areas, resulting in trophic cascades in their communities. When the fur trade ended, sea otter numbers increased and their communities began to recover. One would expect that this recovery would result in...
