Answer 1

The organism that occupies more than one trophic level in a pond ecosystem is fish.

Explanation:

Fish can be found at multiple trophic levels in pond ecosystems. Small fish are principal consumers, eating on zooplankton. Larger predatory fish serve as secondary or tertiary consumers, preying on smaller fish, insects, and other creatures. Fish are unusual in the ecology due to their ability to exist at many trophic levels.
