Responda
-
A food chain shows the linear feeding relationships between species in a community
-
A food chain shows the interaction between species in a habitat
-

-
The first organism in the sequence is the producer, followed by consumers
Questão 14
Questão
Describe what is meant by a food chain. Tick two answers

A food web is a diagram that shows how food chains are linked together into more complex feeding relationships within a community
-
There can only be one producer in a food web. The consumers can occupy multiple positions in the trophic levels
-
There can be more than one producer in a food web, and consumers can occupy multiple positions in the trophic levels
Questão 15
Questão
A trophic level refers to an organism's position in a food chain
Responda
- True
- False
Questão 16
Questão

Image:
food_web_med (image/jpeg)
Responda
-
waterweed = 1 frog = 3 kingfisher =4
-
waterweed = 1 frog = 3,4 kingfisher =4
-
waterweed = 1 frog = 3,4 kingfisher =3,4,5
-
waterweed = 1 frog = 3,4 kingfisher =3,4
Questão 17
Questão
Explain the energy flow in a food chain. Tick 4.
Responda
-
Energy enters most communities as light, where it is absorbed by autotrophs (e.g. plants) and converted into chemical energy via photosynthesis
-
Energy enters most communities as light, where it is absorbed by heterotrophs (e.g. animals) and converted into chemical energy via photosynthesis
-
Only ~10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next, the rest is lost
-
Energy then gets passed to the primary consumer (herbivore) when they eat the plant, and then gets passed to successive consumers (carnivores) as they are eaten in turn
-
Because ~90% of energy is lost between trophic levels, the number of trophic levels are limited as energy flow is reduced at higher levels
Questão 18
Questão
why is light the initial energy source for almost all communities?
Responda
-
All green plants, and some bacteria, use light as a source of energy for synthesising organic molecules
-
All green plants, animals, and some bacteria, use light as a source of energy for synthesising organic molecules
-
All green plants, and bacteria, use light as a source of energy for synthesising organic molecules
Questão 19
Questão
Why is the energy transformation presented as a pyramid?
Responda
-
The energy transfer is never 100% efficient
-
Each level of the pyramid of energy should be approximately one tenth the size of the level preceding it, as energy transformations are ~10% efficient
-
Typically, energy transformations in living things are ~90% efficient, with about 10% of the energy lost between trophic levels
-
Pyramids of energy will never appear inverted as some of the energy stored in one source is always lost when transferred to the next source
-
This energy may be lost as heat, be used up during cellular respiration, be excreted in faeces or remain unconsumed as the uneaten part of food
Questão 20
Questão
The saprotrophic activity of decomposers (certain bacteria and fungi), free inorganic materials from the dead bodies and waste products of organisms, ensuring a continual supply of raw materials for the producers (which can then be ingested by consumers)
Responda
- True
- False
