Biomagnification and the Trouble with Toxins
Explore biomagnification which can happen when toxins become more highly concentrated when moving up through trophic levels in the food chain. Uncontrolled use of DDT is used in video as an example. Learn why bioaccumulation can occur in...

Food Webs and Trophic Cascades
Now that we know about nutrient cycling, we are ready to look at food webs as a whole. These represent feeding relationships within a community.These relationships designate certain trophic levels, so let's learn about what these mean...

GCSE Biology - Trophic Levels - Producers, Consumers, Herbivores & Carnivores #86
This video covers:
- The idea that trophic levels are just the different levels of a food chain
- Trophic level 1 are called the producers
- Trophic level 2 are primary consumers, trophic level 3 are called the secondary consumers and...
