Which of these is true about this food web?

The Mouse is most likely to die, several ways.

The Owl gets its energy from the producer.

The Lion gets its energy only from a wild cat.

The Kite gets its energy from the goat.

The arrows in a food chain or web represents what?

They show what direction the energy is flowing between organisms.

They point to the organism that is being eaten.

It shows how sunlight flows within an ecosystem.

They represent how water is transferred within a habitat.

What does a food web represent?

All connections of energy flow throughout all organisms in a habitat.

The specific ways that mutualism is carried out.

A single pathway or energy flow between organisms.

Several owls live in a forest. The owls prey on mice. Hawks also prey on mice. Which might happen if several hawks move to the forest where the owls live?

The number of owls and mice will decrease.

The number of owls will increase, and the number of hawks will decrease.

The number of mice will increase, and the number of owls will decrease.

The number of owls and hawks will increase.

This diagram shows how energy flows through an eco-system. What is the first source of energy in this pyramid?

herbivorous fish, crustaceans and sea urchins

Some species of birds are very similar. Each species lives on different island. Which of the following is the best explanation for why one species has a longer beak than the others?

The longer beak is an adaptation to the food available in the bird’s habitat.

They need a longer beak for defending itself against predators.

They originated from a different type of bird than the other species.

The beak stretched to reach its food and the longer beak was passed down to its offspring.

How can farmers best use selective breeding to increase apple production?

By choosing trees that consistently have the most apples.

By increasing the amount of water and fertilizer the trees receive.

By choosing trees that are the largest in size.

By limiting the number of trees growing so they have more space.

A species of bird ate many types of seeds. The individuals vary in beak size. If a drought were to kill off the trees that produce small seeds and leave only large seeds, how would the population change?

The birds with larger beaks were better at eating the large seeds than those with smaller beaks, so only the birds with larger beaks got enough food to survive, reproduce, and pass the trait of large beaks to the next generation.

The birds with smaller beaks had to work harder than those with larger beaks to crack open the large seeds. The more they used their beaks, the larger their beaks became, so they were able to get enough food to survive, reproduce, and pass the traits of large beaks to the next generation.

The birds with smaller beaks grew their beaks so that they would be better able to eat the large seeds and get enough food to survive, reproduce, and pass the trait of larger beaks to the next generation.

Beak size is random and will not be determined by the types of seeds available.

Which of the following is REQUIRED for the process of natural selection to occur?

Traits must be inherited from one generation to the next.

Members of the same species must compete with one another.

Members of different species must compete with one another.

There must be a sudden environmental change.
