Trophic - to feed
Example:
Producers
Plants (photosynthesis) - Light energy ---> Chemical energy
Primary consumer
Herbivore - Chemical energy (Plant) ---- digestion changes to -----> Chemical energy (Fly)
Secondary consumer
Carnivore - CE ---> CE
Tertiary consumer
Top carnivore - CE --> CE
--- eventually all levels ---> DEATH
Broken down by 'decomposer' organisms (fungi, bacteria)
---- Recycles complex molecules -----> Nitrates & Phosphates
