FOOD WEBS

What do you call an animal that eats only plants?

• Carnivore

• Herbivore

• Omnivore

• Insectivore

What is the role of primary consumers in a food web?

• Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers (plants) and transfer energy to the next trophic level.

• Primary consumers are carnivores that eat other consumers and help control their populations.

• Primary consumers are decomposers that break down dead organic matter and recycle nutrients.

• Primary consumers are plants that produce energy through photosynthesis.

What is a food web?

• A food web is a network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem, showing how energy and nutrients flow between different organisms.

• A food web is a diagram that shows the physical structure of an ecosystem.

• A food web is a list of all the species in a particular habitat.

• A food web is a type of food chain that includes only herbivores.

What is the role of decomposers in a food chain?

• Decomposers break down dead organisms and add nutrients to the soil.

• Decomposers produce energy through photosynthesis.

• Decomposers consume living plants and animals.

• Decomposers help in the reproduction of organisms.

Where does the energy that travels through an ecosystem originally come from?

• The Moon

• The Sun

• Volcanic Activity

• Ocean Currents

What do you call an animal that eats both plants and animals?

• Carnivore

• Herbivore

• Omnivore

• Insectivore

What is the primary producer in a food web?

• Animals, as they consume plants and other organisms.

• Fungi, as they decompose organic matter.

• Plants, as they use sunlight to make their own food through photosynthesis.

• Bacteria, as they are the smallest living organisms.

Give an example of a simple food chain.

• Grass > Rabbit > Fox

• Grass > Deer > Lion

• Plant > Insect > Bird

• Algae > Fish > Shark

What is a food chain?

• A circular sequence of organisms where each is eaten by the next in the chain, showing the flow of energy.

• A linear sequence of organisms where each is eaten by the next in the chain, showing the flow of energy.

• A network of food webs that illustrates the energy flow in an ecosystem.

• A random assortment of organisms that do not interact with each other.

What do you call an animal that eats only other animals?

• Herbivore

• Carnivore

• Omnivore

• Insectivore
