Question

Can you identify which organisms are on which trophic levels in an intertidal community?

Match the categories on the left with how they get energy on the right.

Carnivores, such as snails and sea stars Filter feeders, such as sponges and mussels Grazers, such as chitons Producers, such as seaweed : Perform photosynthesis : Eat producers : Eat floating plankton : Eat other consumers

Answer 1

Answer:

The producers-Sea weed-Perform photosynthesis.

The filter feeders- sponges, chiton-eat floating planktons.

Grazers -Snails,mussels feed on- floating planktons.

Carnivores such as sea stars feeds on snails

Explanation:

• The producers are placed at the bottom level in energy pyramid and are prime factor in the aquatic eco system which provides energy and perform photosynthesis with the help of water,sunlight and chlorophyll.
• The filter feeders are those that feeds upon small particles that are present in the water.
• Grazers are those organisms that feeds on producers like phytoplanktons.
• Carnivores are those organisms that feeds on herbivores.

Answer 2

Carnivores (snails, sea stars) eat other consumers; filter feeders (sponges and mussels) eat floating plankton; and grazers (chitons) eat producers.

• Carnivores such as snails are animals that cannot produce their own food and consume (eat) primary consumers (e.g. herbivores).

• Primary consumers such as sponges depend on primary producers (e.g., plankton) to obtain their food.

• Finally, chitons are often herbivorous grazers (i.e., they are primary consumers), though some chitons can be omnivorous and even carnivorous.

In conclusion, carnivores (snails, sea stars) eat other consumers; filter feeders (sponges and mussels) eat floating plankton; and grazers (chitons) eat producers.
