Level 1.

Explanation:

Trophic levels are the levels of a food chain, beginning with plants, then herbivores, then various carnivorous predators.

Photosynthesising plants takes in energy from the sun and compounds from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide and water) to form glucose, which is high in energy. Glucose then travels through the food chain and trophic levels, carrying energy and the raw materials for respiration.

Plants are also called primary producers, because they produce glucose and are the first (Latin primus) level in the food chain.
