Ecology

What does every food chain start with? (Even if it's not drawn or written there!)

• producers
• sun
• consumer
• decomposers

An organism that needs to eat other organisms to obtain energy is known as a:

• Autotroph
• Producer
• Consumer
• Mutualist

Consumer that eats plants

• heterotroph
• herbivore
• producer
• community

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. 
• How carnivores get their food. 

The rabbit in this food web would be considered a:

• Decomposer
• Producer
• Secondary Consumer
• Primary Consumer

The image provided is an example of a(n):

• Carnivore
• Herbivore
• Producer
• Autotroph
