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 increases by 90% each level.

In a food chain, the flow of energy can flow back and forth between organisms.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

The Flow of energy is ALWAYS one way.

Plants have chloroplasts in their cells filled with chlorophyll, a pigment that ​ (a)   every color of sunlight except for green, and thus ​ (b)   it.

• absorbs
• reflects

Aerobic respiration occurs in the ​ (a)   of oxygen and produces ​ (b)   ATP.

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the ​ (c)   of oxygen and produces ​ (d)   ATP.

• presence
• 36-38
• absence
• 2-4
