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

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.
