Unit 3 Energy Flow Test #2

In the food web, the insectivorous birds would be classified as

• carnivores.

• decomposers.

• herbivores.

• omnivores.

In the food web, what would be a direct impact of an increase in the amount of toads in the ecosystem?

• an increase in the population of squirrels

• a decrease in the population of owls

• an increase in the population of snakes

• a decrease in the rabbit population

Organisms that use energy from the sun to make their own food are called

• detritivores.

• consumers.

• omnivores.

• producers.

What will MOST LIKELY happen if a new producer is introduced into a food web?

• The omnivores will decrease.

• The herbivores will increase.

• The carnivores will decrease.

• The decomposers will decrease.

The figure shows a trophic pyramid for an ecosystem. What happens to the amount of energy in the pyramid as it moves up through the different levels?

• Energy increases by 10% each level

• Energy decreases by 90% each level

• Energy decreases by 10% each level

• Energy increases by 90% each level
