Food Chain Quiz for Stage 3

What is the relationship between the sun, plants, and herbivores in a food chain interdependence?

• Plants provide energy for the sun, which are then eaten by herbivores.

• Herbivores provide energy for the sun, which are then eaten by plants.

• The sun provides energy for herbivores, which are then eaten by plants.

• The sun provides energy for plants, which are then eaten by herbivores.

Explain how the extinction of one species in a food chain can affect the entire ecosystem.

• The extinction of one species only affects the immediate environment

• The extinction of one species can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem, leading to overpopulation of certain species, depletion of resources, and affecting the entire food web.

• The extinction of one species leads to the growth of other species

• The extinction of one species has no impact on the ecosystem

How does the food chain interdependence help in maintaining the balance of nature?

• Causing the extinction of certain species

• Regulating the population of species and preventing the overgrowth of any particular species

• Having no impact on the population of species

• Disrupting the natural balance by favoring one species over others

Give an example of a food chain interdependence in a forest ecosystem.

• Sun, Moon, Stars

• Fish, Birds, Insects

• Plants, Herbivores, Carnivores

• Rocks, Trees, Clouds

What is a food chain and how does it work?

• A food chain is a type of restaurant that serves only one type of food

• A food chain is a system of grocery stores that are connected and share inventory

• A food chain is a type of exercise equipment used in gyms

• A food chain is a series of organisms where each one is eaten by the next member in the chain. It works by showing the flow of energy and nutrients from one organism to another.

Describe the different trophic levels in a food chain.

• Predators, prey, apex predators, parasites, and symbionts

• Plants, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers

• Producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers

• Sunlight, water, air, soil, and nutrients

Explain the concept of energy transfer in a food chain.

• Energy is transferred from one organism to another in a food chain as they consume each other.

• Energy is created and destroyed within a food chain

• Energy transfer in a food chain is not important for the survival of organisms

• Energy is only transferred from plants to animals in a food chain

What are the primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in a food chain?

• Plants, Omnivores, Decomposers

• Producers, Predators, Scavengers

• Herbivores, Carnivores, Carnivores

• Primary consumers, Secondary consumers, Tertiary consumers

Name three different groups of animals and their role in the food chain.

• 2. Photosynthesizers - they produce their own food and are at the top of the food chain.

• 3. Extinct animals - they have no role in the food chain.

• 1. Omnivores - they eat only meat and are primary consumers in the food chain.

• 1. Herbivores - they eat plants and are primary consumers in the food chain. 2. Carnivores - they eat other animals and are secondary or tertiary consumers. 3. Decomposers - they break down dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil.

How do different groups of animals contribute to the balance of the food chain?

• By competing for resources and causing imbalance

• By hibernating and reducing their impact on the ecosystem

• By building shelters and nests for other animals

• By consuming other organisms, controlling population levels, and transferring energy through the ecosystem.
