Formative 4&5 Review

Front

What happens to ATP production if glucose is limited in aerobic respiration?

Back

ATP production would slow down or stop altogether because glucose is needed to make ATP.

Front

What is the effect on the frog population if grasshoppers disappear from the ecosystem?

Back

The frog population would decrease due to the loss of a food source.

Front

Which trophic level has the most energy and biomass?

Back

Producers (Plants) have the most energy and biomass.

Front

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Front

What is the function of the cell/plasma membrane?

Back

The cell/plasma membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Front

Define aerobic respiration.

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process by which organisms convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are primary consumers?

Back

Primary consumers are organisms that eat producers (plants) for energy, typically herbivores.

Front

What is the significance of producers in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.

Front

Explain the concept of energy transfer in an ecosystem.

Back

Energy transfer in an ecosystem occurs when one organism eats another, with energy decreasing at each trophic level.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in an ecosystem?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy necessary for photosynthesis, allowing producers to create food.
