2.

Which of these is not a typical primary producer in a terrestrial ecosystem?
- Grass
- Oak Tree
Correct Answer

A. Oak Tree

Explanation

In terrestrial ecosystems, primary producers like "grass" play a vital role in initiating the food chain by converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. While "oak trees" are important components of the ecosystem, they are not primary producers in the same sense as grasses.

Rate this question:
3.

After the first producer, the next members of the food chain will be consumers. Consumers must eat __________ ______________ to survive.
- Other consumers
- Living organisms
Correct Answer

A. Living organisms

Explanation

Consumers in a food chain must consume living organisms (other consumers, producers, etc.) to obtain the energy they need to survive.

Rate this question:
4.

Producers are called ______________________, while consumers are called heterotrophs.
- Autotrophs
- Predators
Correct Answer

A. Autotrophs

Explanation

Producers, such as plants, are referred to as autotrophs because they can produce their own energy through photosynthesis. Consumers, on the other hand, are heterotrophs, as they rely on others for their energy.

Rate this question:

1
5.

The length of a food chain is measured by the number of _____________ encountered as energy moves from the autotroph to the top consumers.
- Tertiary consumers
- Tropic levels
Correct Answer

A. Tropic levels

Explanation

The length of a food chain is determined by the number of "trophic levels" it comprises, representing the different stages of energy transfer from primary producers to top consumers.

Rate this question:
6.

Series of interrelated food chains in a given ecosystem is called a ______________.
- Food web
- Ecological chain
Correct Answer

A. Food web

Explanation

A "food web" is a complex, interconnected system of various food chains in an ecosystem, illustrating the interdependence of organisms and their roles in energy flow.

Rate this question:
7.

A food chain is a series of relationships between members of an ecosystem so that _________ can be transferred between them.
- Energy
- Light
Correct Answer

A. Energy

Explanation

A food chain represents the flow of "energy" from one organism to another within an ecosystem as they consume and are consumed by one another.

Rate this question:
8.

As energy is transferred through a food chain, only 10-20 percent of the energy is available to the next member of the chain. This is because
- Energy is lost as heat through respiration
- Energy is converted into biomass
Correct Answer

A. Energy is lost as heat through respiration

Explanation

Energy is lost as heat during each step of the food chain due to metabolic processes like respiration, limiting the amount of energy available to higher trophic levels.

Rate this question:
9.

An example of a food chain in a pond environment would be: algae: water bug: fish: otter. In this example the __________ is at the bottom of the food chain.
- Otter
- Algae
Correct Answer

A. Algae

Explanation

Algae, as primary producers, are at the "bottom" of the food chain in this pond ecosystem, initiating the transfer of energy.

Rate this question:
10.

An example of a forest food chain could be: pinenut (from a tree): squirrel: fox: bacteria. In this example, the food chain ends with
- Fox
- Bacteria
Correct Answer

A. Bacteria

Explanation

In this forest food chain, the food chain ends with "bacteria" responsible for decomposing organic matter and returning nutrients to the ecosystem.
