Frage 9
Frage
A [blank_start]producer[blank_end] is a type of organism that undergoes photosynthesis, converting energy into a usable form of food for other organisms in an ecosystem.
Frage 10
Frage
What form of energy is lost by moving from producer to consumer to decomposer in an ecosystem?
Frage 11
Frage
A [blank_start]producer[blank_end] is a living thing that can make its own food.
Frage 12
Frage

Frage 13
Frage
How is a food web different from a food chain?
Antworten
-
Food webs are a group of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.
-
Food webs include at least one spider as a primary food source.
-
Food chains are more complex than food webs.
Frage 14
Frage
In a food web or food chain, carnivores are the most plentiful (numerous) member of the ecosystem.
Frage 15
Frage
What is an energy diagram?
Antworten
-
A diagram that shows how energy moves from one feeding level to the next in the food chain.
-
Alternate forms of energy available to animals in an ecosystem.
-
A diagram which shows how each member of an ecosystem gets its food.
Frage 16
Frage
Which of the following is true about an energy pyramid? (check all that apply)
Antworten
-
There are more producers than herbivores or carnivores in the ecosystem.
-
As you move up to the top of the pyramid from producer to consumer, the diagram becomes smaller and smaller to show how less and less energy is available.
-
Energy drops about 10% from each level of the pyramid.
Frage 17
Frage

Antworten
-
Symbiosis
-
Competition
-

Frage 18
Frage
[blank_start]Competition[blank_end] happens when two or more species depend on the same food source or any limited resource.
Frage 19
Frage
In symbiosis, both organisms must benefit from an interaction.
Frage 20
Frage
Predator-Prey relationships are bad because a cute animal gets killed.
Frage 21
Frage
A [blank_start]population[blank_end] is a group of individuals of the same species living in a given area.
Antworten
-
population
-
biosphere
-
ecosystem
-
community
Frage 22
Frage
The change in size of population over time is called its [blank_start]growth rate[blank_end].
Frage 23
Frage
What limits population growth? (check all that apply)
Antworten
-
The amount of food available.
-
The amount of space available.
-
Competition from different species for food.
Frage 24
Frage
What is a pollutant?
Frage 25
Frage
What often determines how harmful a pollutant is? (check all that apply)
Antworten
-
The pollutant's ability to cause harm.
-
The amount of pollutant in the air, water, or soil.
-
How long the pollutant stays in the air, water, or soil.
Frage 26
Frage
Why are toxins heavily concentrated at higher predator levels in the food chain?
Antworten
-
Because toxins are stored in the fatty tissues of animals and are not passed out of their body. This multiplies as one moves higher up the food chain.
-
Because higher level predators like the taste of toxins.
-
Because only top carnivores store toxins in their body.
Frage 27
Frage
