What is an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms and their physical environment interacting as a system.
A type of weather pattern.
A collection of plants in a garden.
A group of people living in a city.
Name three types of biomes.

Forests, Deserts, Grasslands
Oceans
Tundras
How do plants adapt to their environment?
Plants adapt by changing their color to attract pollinators.
Plants do not adapt; they remain the same regardless of their environment.
Plants rely solely on water availability for survival.
Plants adapt to their environment by modifying their structures and behaviors, such as changing leaf shape, root depth, and growth patterns.
What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?
Decomposers produce energy for plants.
Decomposers are primary consumers in the food chain.
Decomposers compete with plants for sunlight.
Decomposers recycle nutrients and help maintain ecosystem balance.
Describe the difference between a desert and a rainforest biome.
Deserts receive heavy snowfall and have a variety of trees; rainforests are dry and barren.
Deserts are characterized by high humidity and lush plant life; rainforests have low humidity and few plants.
Deserts are found near the poles and rainforests near the equator; both have similar temperatures throughout the year.
Deserts have low rainfall and sparse vegetation; rainforests have high rainfall and dense vegetation.
What is biodiversity and why is it important?
Biodiversity is the study of animal behavior in captivity.
Biodiversity is the process of planting trees in urban areas.
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, and it is important for ecosystem health, resilience, and human well-being.
Biodiversity refers to the number of species in a single habitat.
How do human activities impact ecosystems?
Human activities only benefit ecosystems through conservation efforts.
Human activities have no effect on ecosystems whatsoever.
Human activities enhance ecosystems by increasing biodiversity.
Human activities negatively impact ecosystems by causing habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change.
What are the main components of an ecosystem?
Climate and geography.
Water and soil types.
Producers and consumers only.
Biotic and abiotic components.
Explain the water cycle and its importance to ecosystems.
The water cycle is irrelevant to climate change.
The water cycle only affects ocean life.
The water cycle is essential for ecosystems as it sustains life by providing water, regulating climate, and supporting biodiversity.
The water cycle is a man-made process.
What is a food chain and how does it function in a biome?
A food chain is a random assortment of plants and animals in a biome.
A food chain is a sequence of organisms that shows how energy and nutrients flow through an ecosystem, starting from producers to various levels of consumers.
A food chain only includes herbivores and their food sources.
A food chain is a diagram that shows the weather patterns in an ecosystem.
