Rabbit and Mouse Wildflowers and Grass Snake and Hawk Grass and Mouse 2 / 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. Carnivores are too large to be eaten. Producers are limited by consumers. Plants are not infinite in number. 3 / 15 Which of the following is used by plants to make their own food? Cellular respiration Food chain Photosynthesis Law of conservation of energy 4 / 15 An organism that eats plants and animals herbivore carnivore omnivore vegetarian 5 / 15 They only eat plants. omnivores herbivores vegetarians carnivores 6 / 15 It is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. Food web Food Chain Food cycle Food waste 7 / 15 Maggots feed on dead and decaying organisms for energy. What are maggots? heterotrophs producers autotrophs decomposers 8 / 15 They are usually herbivores and plant-eaters. producers secondary consumer tertiary consumer primary consumer 9 / 15 The organisms that eat the primary consumers are called _________? secondary consumer tertiary consumer producers primary consumer 10 / 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. 11 / 15 Organisms that break down dead organic material and wastes secondary consumer decomposers primary consumer producers 12 / 15 Producers The living components of an ecosystem. The nonliving, physical factors that affect the living components in an ecosystem. Organisms that can make their own food, usually green plants. The total number of animal and plant species in an ecosystem. 13 / 15 In an ecosystem, snakes feed on frogs, which feed on mosquitoes. Use of a bug spray has decreased the number of mosquitoes. What will probably happen to the number of frogs and snakes? Frogs will decrease, snakes will decrease Frogs will decrease, snakes will increase Frogs will increase, snakes will increase Frogs will increase, snakes will decrease 14 / 15 How is energy transferred from one organism to another? When consumers do photosynthesis When producers do photosynthesis When one organism eats another When producers eat consumers 15 / 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.
