This is the correct order of trophic levels in a food web. Primary producers, such as plants and algae, form the base of the food web and are eaten by herbivores. Herbivores are then eaten by carnivores, which may be eaten by top-level predators. This arrangement is necessary for energy to flow efficiently from one level to the next.
