Which population of organisms, as a whole, has the MOST energy?

The population of caterpillars.

In the phosphorus cycle, phosphorus in the soil is transferred to M. What does M represent?

plants, which absorb it through their roots and are then consumed by animals.

the atmosphere, where it is released by microorganisms and inhaled by animals.

mineral deposits, which are directly consumed by animals.

aquatic systems, which serve as primary water sources for animals.

Mrs. Maxwell conducted an experiment to find out the effect of phosphorus levels in fertilizers on rose bushes. She used high-phosphorus fertilizer on five bushes and low-phosphorus fertilizer on another five, providing equal sunlight and care for 2 months. Based on her observations, what could be a potential conclusion for her experiment?

Rose bushes produce more flowers when grown with high-phosphorus fertilizer.

High-phosphorus fertilizer causes rose bushes to grow taller.

Low-phosphorus fertilizer results in more vibrant flower colors.

Phosphorus levels do not affect the number of flowers produced.

Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that —

modify the area and allow larger and more complex organisms to appear.

change the area and make it safer from predatory organisms.

invade the area so that new organisms cannot be established.

use up all the existing resources and prevent establishment of non-native organisms.

Which of the following characteristics would a mature (climax) community exhibit?

well-adapted organisms in a stable ecosystem

mostly small plants and insects

Which of the following does NOT occur as ecological succession progresses?

Soils that are rich in nutrients become deeper.

Larger plants and animals inhabit the area.

An animal that eats both plants and other animals.

An animal that primarily feeds on plants.

An animal that primarily feeds on rocks.

How does a carnivore get its energy from

eating other plants and animals

What is the main difference between carnivores and herbivores?

Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat

What is the main difference between herbivores and omnivores?

Herbivores eat plants, omnivores eat plants and other animals

herbivores eat plants and animals. omnivores eat other animals

herbivores eat other animals. omnivores eat plants only

consuming, or eating, other organisms

using the sun to make its own energy

What is the definition of - Decomposer

An organism that breaks down the remains of dead organisms and returns the nutrients back into the soil

An organism that obtains energy by eating both plants and animals

An organism that obtains energy by eating only plants

Series of steps in an ecosystem in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.

A consumer that eats dead animals that have already been killed by other animals; does not recycle nutrients

A carnivore that eats what it kills

Match the word to the correct description.

The layer of gases surrounding the Earth.

The outer solid part of the Earth, made up of the crust and upper mantle.

All the water on Earth, whether it is liquid, solid, or vapor.

The parts of the land, sea and atmosphere in which organisms are able to live.

Carbon molecules cannot be created or destroyed

Not enough information to answer

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

They break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients.

They produce energy from sunlight.

They hunt other animals for food.

Which of the following best describes an omnivore?

An organism that eats both plants and animals

An organism that eats only plants

Is the majority of Earth's nitrogen readily available for plants and other living organisms to use?

No, because most of Earth's nitrogen is trapped in geological reservoirs.

No, because most nitrogen exists as nitrogen gas, which must be fixed before most organisms can use it.

No, because nitrogen gas cannot be converted into other usable forms.

Yes, because atmospheric nitrogen is directly available to most organisms.
