Energy Transfer Food

What does a food web represent?

• All connections of energy flow throughout all organisms in a habitat.
• The specific ways that mutualism is carried out.
• A single pathway or energy flow between organisms. 
• How carnivores get their food.

What is a trophic level?

• Each level represented within a food chain or web.
• Levels of ecosystems that the world is divided into.
• Different levels of nutrients present within an organism.
• The levels of sunlight an autotroph needs to survive.

An energy pyramid represents what?

• How much sunlight is available for the ecosystem to use. 
• How much energy a particular organism needs. 
• How much energy is needed to build a pyramid. 
• The amount of energy available to the next 'feeder' in a food web.

Why might an organism have more than one arrow coming from them in a food web?

• More than one organism may eat them. 
• They may eat more than one other organism. 
• This organism gets its energy from multiple sources. 
• They have no resources available to them.

What may happen if the snowshoe hare was removed from the food web pictured?

• The insects in the habitat would increase.
• The shrew population would decrease due to being only hawk food source.
• The willow tree population would decrease.
• Foxes would dies due to no food source.

The arrows in a food chain or web represents what?

• They point to the organism that is being eaten.
• It shows how sunlight flows within an ecosystem.
• They show what direction the energy is flowing between organisms. 
• They represent how water is transferred within a habitat.
