Solution:Yes,the impact will be different in different trophic levels this is because each organism present in different trophic level plays an important role in our ecosystem.If we remove green plants present in the first trophic level,it will affect the lives of primary consumers because the green plants form food with the help of photosynthesis.If we remove all the herbivore organisms at one trophic level, this will affect the lives of carnivore animals, because carnivore animals consume herbivore animals for their living.

No, we cannot remove any organism from any trophic level without causing any damage to our ecosystem because each organism is part of our ecosystem. If we remove any organism, it will definitely affect the functioning of our ecosystem.


Trophic level

Trophic levels represent different steps present in a food chain in which the transfer of energy takes place from one level to another.


Food chain

Food chain from an energy source in our ecosystem. It is a linear chain in which energy transfer occurs from one trophic level to another.Different food chains combine to form a food web.Food webs are larger than food chains,and in food webs energy does not flow in a linear form.
