Expert Solution

The organisms sharing the same function in food chain and same nutritional relationship with primary sources of energy belong to same trophic level in a food chain. It is the position, organism occupy in its food chain. Food chain usually starts at trophic level 1 and finishes around trophic level 4 or 5.

Food chain is a network of links starting from producers present at trophic level 1 and ending at apex predator species at trophic level 4 or 5.

when these food chains interconnect each other, a complex network is formed known as food web.
