According to the energy pyramid, the most energy is present in organisms living at the same level as the…
bobcat
birds
grasshoppers
grasses
Which of the following is a true statement
There are always more heterotrophs than autotrophs in an ecosystem
Only 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, because of this energy loss, there are always more autotrophs
In numbers pyramids, there are more autotrophs but not in biomass pyramids
The number of species increases as the trophic level increase
Examine the food web to the right. Which of the following pairs of consumers in this food web has the greatest amount of energy available for them to consume?
hawk and mountain lion
rabbit and grasshopper
snake and songbird
trees and grass
Which level will contain producers?
A
B
C
D
What would happen if their were no producers?
Every population would grow larger
Everything would die out
The animals would make their own food
A disease kills most members of a predator population. Which is the most likely effect on the prey population?
It too will be killed by the disease
It will decrease in size
It will increase in size
There will be no effect on the prey
If the producers in a food web were removed, which of the following changes would most likely occur?
The entire food web would collapse over time.
The food web would depend on the decomposers for energy.
The consumers would begin making energy for the food web.
The populations of the remaining organisms in the food web would increase.
In the food web to the right, if the population of snakes were killed by a deadly bacterium that affects only snakes, which of the following is most likely to occur?
The carrying capacity of the rabbits would decrease
There would be increased competition between the rabbit and frog
The carrying capacity of the owls would decrease
The carrying capacity of the frogs would decrease
How does the predator-prey relationship affect a population?
The predators and prey are in competition with each other.
Usually either the predator or the prey will become extinct.
The predator species usually has exponential growth.
The relationship controls the population size of both species.
Researchers have found that a local squirrel population fluctuates from year to year, increasing one year and decreasing the next. Which of the following factors would cause the squirrel population to grow?
the birth rate is equal to the death rate
emigration is greater than immigration
the death rate is higher than the birth rate
the birth rate is greater than the death rate
Populations do not continue to grow to an unlimited size. Their environment, including food and other natural resources, limits their size eventually. This limit is called the
differential population
carrying capacity
prey maximum
predator limit

Water will become more available.
The climate of the ecosystem will change.
Fruit and seed resources will become less abundant.
