When a beetle consumes grass, the matter that made up the grass is used by the beetle to do which of the following?

What is the purpose of decomposers in an ecosystem?

Decomposers break down matter from dead organisms into simpler substances that can be recycled in an ecosystem.

Decomposers combine elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, into complex molecules that can be used as food sources for organisms.

Decomposers absorb energy from the sun and produce food for themselves.

Decomposers are parasites; they attach themselves to host organisms and absorb nutrients from the host until the organism dies.

Unlike plants, animals cannot make their own food. How do animals obtain the energy they need?

Animals are able to function without taking energy in from their environment

Animals absorb cheimcals from their environment

How does the energy available to organisms change within each feeding level of an energy pyramid?

There is less energy available at the top level than in the bottom level

There is less energy available in the bottom level than the top level

There is more energy available in the middle levels than in either the top or bottom leve

All of the feeding levels have the same amount of energy available

When an organism from one trophic level of a food chain is eaten by the organism at the next level up the chain, an average about 10% of the energy from the first organism is available for use by the next organism. Where does the other 90% go at each level?

It is used up by the previous organism or lost as heat

It is destroyed when the organism is eaten

It is left as waste on the ground
