The position of an organism on a food chain is called its trophic level, which means its feeding level. This position depends on whether it is a plant or an animal and, if an animal, on what it eats.

What is the scientific taxonomy and the earth’s vast biodiversity? this article provides interesting information on this topic.
Food chains and food webs show the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Food chains are linear depictions of energy flow, while food webs show the multiple interactions among the different types of organisms.
Stunning scanning electron microsope images of minute sea-life, on which much of the rest of the ocean inhabitants depend.
How is energy passed through an ecosystem? What is an ecosystem and what is ecology/
Coral reefs are the basis of a very large ecosystem; they have the highest biodiversity of any marine ecosystem. More than 25 percent of all known ocean fish live in coral reefs and many more marine organisms live inside the coral. There are nearly a million species of fish and other marine life that make up the ecosystem of coral reefs. Coral reefs are often called the “rainforests of the ocean” because of its amazingly diverse ecosystem.
Coral reef ecosystems provide the protein needs of people living near the coastal areas as well as the society in general. It appears, however, that this very important resource is already on the verge of extinction.
