Food Webs #2

In this tundra food web, if grasses were removed what would happen to the sustainability of the ecosystem?

• There would be an overpopulation of arctic hares and lemmings.
• Polar bears would move to a new ecosystem.
• The ecosystem would collapse, because it lost its main producer.
• Wildflowers would die out from the ecosystem.

All of the following statements concerning characteristics of predator-prey relationship is NOT correct?

• The population of predators in unaffected by the population of prey

• Most of the energy a predator gains from its prey is lost as heat.

• A rise in the population of prey is often followed by a rise in the population of predators.

• Predators use the energy from their prey to perform metabolic activities.

What is a example of a abiotic factor?

• Bacteria

• Fungi

• Coral

• Weather

This is an example of a......

• Pyramid of energy

• Biotic and Abiotic factors

• Pyramid of numbers

• Predator Prey Relationship

Which statement is TRUE about the graph?

• The prey is the green line because there needs to be more prey than predators.

• The prey is the red line because there needs to be more predators than prey.

• The green line is the producers because they are the most important part of the food chain

• The red line is the producers because they are the most important part of the food chain

Predator population lags behind prey population because...

• an increase in predators leads to decrease in prey

• an increase in predators leads to increase in prey

• an increase in predators leads to decrease in producers

• an increase in prey leads to an increase in producers
