Producers will become consumers

Carlos and Jessie are curious about why the oxygen levels in their favorite pond drop at night. Which process is most responsible for this nighttime change, and why?

Fermentation, because it produces oxygen

Transpiration, because it releases oxygen

Myla and Jaden are studying plants in their science class. They discover a plant with a mutation that stops it from performing the Calvin cycle. What would be the most immediate effect on this plant?

It would not be able to produce glucose

It would not be able to absorb sunlight

It would not be able to release oxygen

Keysha, Zo, and Silvio are exploring a food web in science class. Why is photosynthesis such a superstar in keeping the food web running?

It is the process by which producers make food, supporting the entire food web.

It provides energy for tertiary consumers.

It helps decomposers break down organic material.

It increases the amount of water in an ecosystem.

Jaden, Silvio, and Rob are exploring the wonders of nature. They notice that animals and plants are all connected in interesting ways. What do we call a system where many food chains are linked together, showing how different creatures depend on each other for food?

A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.

A single pathway of feeding relationships.

A graphical representation of one animal's diet.

The process by which plants make their food.

Kay and Myla are on a science adventure! They want to know: what is the main purpose of cellular respiration in our cells?

To turn glucose into energy in the form of ATP

To turn energy from the sun into glucose

Jessie, Carlos, and Myla are on a safari adventure, and they start debating how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are different. Can you help them settle the debate? In what way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide

Cellular respiration stores energy, while photosynthesis releases energy

Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen

Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy

Rob, Jaden, and Jessie are exploring a food chain in science class. They notice that energy seems to decrease at each trophic level. Which of the following best explains why this happens?

Some energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes

Producers absorb all available energy

Energy is created at each level

Consumers do not require energy

Kay, Jaden, and Rob are exploring a mysterious forest ecosystem. Suddenly, all the decomposers vanish! What do you think would most likely happen next?

Nutrient cycling would stop and dead matter would accumulate

There would be more available energy for consumers

Producers would increase rapidly

What happens to most of the energy as it moves from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem?

It is recycled back to producers
