Frogs will increase, snakes will increase Frogs will decrease, snakes will increase Frogs will decrease, snakes will decrease Frogs will increase, snakes will decrease 5 / 15 It is a detailed description of the species within a community and their relationships with each other; it shows how energy is transferred up food chains that are interlinked with other food chains. Food cycle Food waste Food web Food chain 6 / 15 How is energy transferred from one organism to another? When consumers do photosynthesis When producers eat consumers When one organism eats another When producers do photosynthesis 7 / 15 An organism that eats plants and animals omnivore carnivore herbivore vegetarian 8 / 15 Maggots feed on dead and decaying organisms for energy. What are maggots? decomposers heterotrophs autotrophs producers 9 / 15 They are usually herbivores and plant-eaters. producers primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer 10 / 15 Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Energy is lost at each trophic level. Plants are not infinite in number. Producers are limited by consumers. Carnivores are too large to be eaten. 11 / 15 What are the PRODUCERS in this food web? Snake and Hawk Wildflowers and Grass Grass and Mouse Rabbit and Mouse 12 / 15 Which of the following is used by plants to make their own food?

Organisms that can make their own food, usually green plants. The living components of an ecosystem. The nonliving, physical factors that affect the living components in an ecosystem. 15 / 15 Mushrooms get energy from breaking down dead organisms. Are mold and mushrooms the same type of organism? Yes, because they both get energy from breaking down dead organisms. No, because they look different from each other. Yes, because they both get energy from the Sun. No, because they are different species. Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
