Text Solution

Verified by Experts

I support her of the following reason:
(1) A snake eating a mouse in a field or lawn occuples the third tropic level.
Plant`to`mouse`to` snake.
(2) When the snake eats a frog in the same field, it occupies the fourth tropic level in a food chian. it is because the frog feed on some of the insects that depend on the plants.
Plant`to`insect`to`frog`to`snake.
(3) Thus, a given species may occupy more than one tropic level in the same ecosystem at the same time.
