What makes up an ecosystem?
Living things only
Non-living things only
Both living and non-living things
Plants and animals
Answer explanation
An ecosystem is made up of both living and non-living things. Living things include plants, animals, and microorganisms, while non-living things include elements like water, air, sunlight, and soil. These components interact with each other in an ecosystem. Therefore, the answer is not limited to only living things or plants and animals, but includes non-living things as well.

What does an organism's habitat provide?
Food, water, shelter, and space
Sunlight, air, and water
Food, sunlight, and space
Shelter, air, and water
Answer explanation
The correct answer is 'Food, water, shelter, and space'. An organism's habitat provides all the basic necessities for its survival. This includes food for nourishment, water for hydration, shelter for protection against environmental conditions, and space to move and grow. Other options are partially correct but they miss out on one or more essential elements that a habitat provides.

What do all the organisms in a forest make up?
A forest community
A pond community
A food web
A producer
Answer explanation
The organisms in a forest make up a forest community. This includes all the living things, from the smallest insects to the largest trees, that interact with each other and their environment. A pond community, a food web, or a producer do not accurately represent all the organisms in a forest.

What do all the interrelated food chains in an ecosystem make up?
A forest community
A pond community
A food web
A producer
Answer explanation
The interrelated food chains in an ecosystem make up a food web. A food web is a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains. It's a more accurate representation of how energy moves through an ecosystem, showing the complexity of who eats whom. It's not a forest community, a pond community, or a producer.

What is the process by which plants make their own food?
Photosynthesis
Decomposition
Consumption
Cycling
Answer explanation
The process by which plants make their own food is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for plant growth and survival, as it provides them with the energy they need to carry out their life processes. The other options, decomposition, consumption, and cycling, are not related to the process of plants making their own food.

What is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy?
Photosynthesis
Decomposition
Consumption
Cycling
Answer explanation
The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy is called photosynthesis. In this process, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential for plant growth and life on Earth, as it provides oxygen and serves as the basis for the food chain. The other options, decomposition, consumption, and cycling, are not related to the conversion of sunlight into energy in plants.

What is the primary source of energy in most ecosystems?
Sunlight
Water
Soil
Air
Answer explanation
The primary source of energy in most ecosystems is sunlight. This is because sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. This energy is then transferred through the ecosystem via consumption by herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers. Water, soil, and air are essential for life, but they do not serve as the primary energy source in ecosystems.
