Why are mushrooms important to the food chain?
They recycle nutrients into the ecosystem.
They produce food energy for other living things.

Yellowfin tuna, or Thunnus albacores, are large sport fish that are found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. They typically school under objects such as boats or patches of driftwood for protection from predators. Schooling under these structures also provides yellowfin tuna with easy access to a food source such as smaller herbivorous fish that may be foraging for food around the structures. Which trophic level does yellowfin tuna fill in a food chain?
producer
primary consumer
secondary consumer
tertiary consumer
Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach?
Plants are not infinite in number.
Producers are limited by consumers.
Carnivores are too large to be eaten.
Energy is lost at each trophic level.
Which organism is a primary consumer in the food web below?
herbivorous duck
bald eagle
osprey
vegetation
What might happen to the organisms in the food web below if the number of phytoplankton and vegetation drastically decreased?
The small fish and wading birds would be affected.
Only the small fish would be affected.
The small fish, bivalves, and invertebrates would be affected.
The entire food web would be affected.
Which of these organisms would most likely be found at the top of an energy pyramid?
clams
sardines
sharks
kelp (seaweed)
In which organism would biomagnification be the most concentrated? (Remember the lab: Rabbits eat the grass, the snake eats the rabbit, the hawk eats the snake--the hawk is the apex predator)

A non-native plant is introduced into a diverse, mature ecosystem in equilibrium. Assuming that the non-native plant has no natural enemies and that it thrives in the ecosystem, how will it affect the community?

What is the main difference between primary and secondary succession?
primary begins with soil formation and secondary starts with soil intact
primary is the first stage and secondary is the second stage
primary builds plant communities and secondary builds animal communities
primary occurs after natural disasters and secondary occurs after disturbances to the ecosystem
