A linear path through organisms at different trophic levels of an ecosystem is a ____
A
food chain
B
food web
C
food line
D
food cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. In a food chain, each organism occupies a different trophic level, defined by how many energy transfers separate it from the basic input of the chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where nutrients and energy is transferred from one organism to the other. This occurs when one organism consumes another organism. It begins with the producer organism, follows the chain and ends with the decomposer organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -The position, level, or position in a food web, a food chain, or an ecological pyramid is known as a trophic level. The first trophic level is formed by the producers, as they produce food. The second trophic level is formed by the primary consumers. The third trophic level is formed by the secondary consumers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Producers >Herbivores > Carnivores > Decomposers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Food Webs. A food web represents multiple pathways through which energy and matter flow through an ecosystem. It includes many intersecting food chains.
