Which describes a decomposer?

an organism that breaks down dead matter

an organism that eats only plants

an organism that makes its own food

an organism that recieves energy from the sun

Field mice eat berries. Which would most likely happen if the field mouse population grew?

There would be less berries due to the mice eating them.

There would be more berries to feed the field mice.

The habitat would get overpopulated because the mice would eat too much.

What would most likely happen if an ecosystem no longer received sunlight?

All living organisms would eventually die

The number of herbivores would increase

The number of plants would increase

How do consumers, like humans and animals, get their energy?

providing food for other organisms

The figure shows an ecosystem with different plants and animals. What statement can you make about the flow of energy in this ecosystem?

Grass can use and store energy from the sun, which eventually flows to all of the other life forms.

On a cloudy day, no energy will flow in this ecosystem.

Eagles get their energy from the sun.

If eagles are removed from the ecosystem, plants will die.

Where do animals get the food molecules they need for growth?

from the body molecules of the plants they eat

from the body molecules of the animals they eat

How can you tell if an animal is growing in the simulation?

Matter cubes are being added to the animal's body from the food matter it takes in.

Matter cubes are not being added to the animal's body.

Matter cubes are escaping the sim.

When animals eat food, they take in the body molecules of plants or other animals. Why is this done?

They use them to build and grow their bodies and to release energy.

They use them to build more food.

They are not used for anything.

According to the Healthy Ecosystem Model, what happens to the grass molecules once they are eaten by the zebra?

The grass molecules turn into zebra body molecules so the zebra can move and grow.

The grass molecules are transferred into the cheetah.

There is no change to the grass molecules.

According to the Healthy Ecosystem Model, what happens to the zebra molecules once they are eaten by the cheetah?

The zebra molecules turn into cheetah body molecules or are released as energy so the cheetah can move and grow.

The zebra molecules turn into light molecules.

The zebra molecules are released into the grass.

There is no change to the zebra molecules.

After a zebra eats grass, what happens to the grass molecules inside the zebra (use your ideas from the previous unit on chemical reactions) ?

There is a chemical reaction taking place in which the the grass molecules are turning into zebra body molecules.

There is not a chemical reaction taking place.

The zebra becomes grass molecules.

There is a chemical reaction taking place in which the the zebra molecules turn into light.

After the cheetah eats a zebra what happens to the zebra molecules inside the cheetah (use your ideas from the previous unit on chemical reactions) ?

There is a chemical reaction taking place in which the the zebra body molecules are turning into cheetah body molecules.

There is not a chemical reaction taking place.

The zebra becomes grass molecules.

Based on what happened in the Sim, what happens to the food molecules in an animal's body? Select 3

Some are used to make body molecules

Some are released as energy that helps the animal move

Some molecules are stored in the animal's body and disappear
