Divisions of organisms in a community based on their method of obtaining energy is known as trophic levels. This concept helps in understanding the flow of energy through a community, starting from the primary producers (autotrophs) and ending with the top carnivores. Food chain refers to a linear sequence of organisms, where each organism is a source of food for the next.
