B1. 5


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 
    Every time you move up a stage (trophic level) in a food chain there is...
    • A. 

      More energy

    • B. 

      Less energy

    • C. 

      More biomass

    • D. 

      Less biomass

  • 2. 
    There is usually a fewer _________ of organisms as you move up a trophic level as well eg - 100 dandelions ... feed ... 10 rabbits ...which feed... 1 fox
  • 3. 
    However this is not always true as 100 dandelions ... feed ... 10 rabbits ...which feed... 1 fox ... which could feed... 500 fleas therefore its often better to look at ___________ rather than numbers of organisms.
  • 4. 
    Each bar on a pyramid of biomass = how much each level would 'weigh' if you put all the animals together. So the fox would have a much ______ biomass than the fleas

  • 9. 
    Food chains - 
    • Plant - primary producer
    • Herbivore - primary consumer
