Solution Summary
Trophic levels in ecosystem are categorised on the basis of feeding behaviour of organisms. Biodiversity in any ecosystem is correlated with the status of the trophic level. Loss of any one trophic level in ecosystem will create an ecological imbalance. Immediate effect would be on the food chain resulting into drastic increase or decrease in the number of individuals of other trophic levels.
