Here's why:

* Trophic levels describe an organism's position in a food chain based on how it obtains energy.

* Carnivores are secondary consumers or higher. They get their energy by eating other animals (primary consumers).

* Omnivores are both primary and secondary consumers. They get energy from both plants (primary producers) and animals.

Example:

* A lion (carnivore) eats a zebra (herbivore). The lion is a secondary consumer, and the zebra is a primary consumer.

* A human (omnivore) eats both a salad (plants) and a hamburger (meat). They are a primary consumer when eating plants and a secondary consumer when eating meat.

Therefore, omnivores occupy a broader range of trophic levels than carnivores.
