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.

Five different living organisms are represented below. Which statement about the organisms represented above is correct?

Only the flowering plant and aquatic plant are autotrophs.

All of the organisms are autotrophs.

Only the flowering plant, green heron, and aquatic plant carry out photosynthesis.

Only the frog, aquatic plant and green heron are heterotrophs.

Many oak trees are cut down and removed from an oak-hickory forest. A likely result of the direct harvesting of the oak species would be the:

conservation of forest resources

recycling of all the nutrients in the forest

prevention of the extinction of animals native to the area

Which human activity most directly causes a significant increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

not using products containing plastics

planting large numbers of trees

Producers are generally found at the beginning of a food chain. Which statement best explains why this is true?

Producers do not rely on other organisms for food.

Producers are usually smaller in size than consumers.

There are always more consumers than producers in food chains.

Consumers are always more complex organisms than producers.

An invasive species, the spiny water flea, was recently found in Lake Ontario. These water fleas eat zooplankton, a food also consumed by native fishes. The fleas spread from lake to lake by attaching to fishing lines, anchor ropes, and boats. Which statement best describes the effect of the water flea on the lake?

It will feed on organisms that are important to other species.

It will not compete with animals in the local food chain.

The number of water fleas will decrease due to a lack of food.

There will be no effect on native species in the lake.

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are important resources in ecosystems and are:

recycled through the activity of living and nonliving systems

stored in the animals of the ecosystem

lost due to the activities of decomposers

released by the process of photosynthesis

Although we rely on coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy, some environmental scientists have proposed that we use less fossil fuel. One reason to support this proposal is to:

help us to reduce the production of carbon dioxide gas

enable us to preserve rainforests in tropical areas

allow us to decrease the use of fertilizers on crops

encourage us to end research on wind and water power sources
