Carnivores must be at or above which trophic level? Explain why

What will be an ideal response?


Carnivores must be at or above the third trophic level. This is because the first level consists of producers. The second level must be herbivores (or omnivores) that eat producers. Then carnivores are able to eat herbivores (or omnivores) at the third or higher trophic level of the food chain.
