1.

What are the main components of an ecosystem?

a)

Food chains and food webs

b)

Producers and consumers

c)

Photosynthesis and respiration

d)

Biotic factors and abiotic factors.

2.

Define the term 'food chain'.

a)

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.

b)

A food chain is a circular pattern of energy flow in an ecosystem.

c)

A food chain is a method of cooking food in a sequence.

d)

A food chain is a complex web of interactions among all organisms.

3.

What role do producers play in an ecosystem?

a)

Producers are essential for converting solar energy into chemical energy, supporting all other trophic levels in an ecosystem.

b)

Producers rely on other organisms for their energy needs.

c)

Producers are the top predators in an ecosystem.

d)

Producers are primarily responsible for decomposing organic matter.

4.

How do herbivores interact with plants?

a)

Herbivores primarily interact with plants by pollinating them.

b)

Herbivores help plants grow by providing nutrients through their waste.

c)

Herbivores interact with plants by feeding on them, which can affect plant growth and survival.

d)

Herbivores avoid plants entirely and only consume soil.

5.

What is the impact of pollution on living organisms?

a)

Pollution enhances biodiversity in ecosystems.

b)

Pollution negatively impacts living organisms by causing health problems, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity.

c)

Pollution has no effect on living organisms.

d)

Pollution improves the health of living organisms.

6.

Explain the concept of a food web.

a)

A food web is a diagram that shows the life cycle of a single species.

b)

A food web only includes plants and herbivores.

c)

A food web is a linear sequence of energy transfer.

d)

A food web is a network of feeding relationships among various organisms in an ecosystem.

7.

What is the role of decomposers in an ecosystem?

a)

Decomposers produce energy for plants.

b)

Decomposers only affect living organisms in an ecosystem.

c)

Decomposers are primary consumers in the food chain.

d)

Decomposers recycle nutrients and break down dead matter in an ecosystem.

8.

How do predators affect the population of prey?

a)

Predators only affect the population of other predators.

b)

Predators decrease prey population through hunting, maintaining ecological balance.

c)

Predators increase prey population by providing food sources.

d)

Predators have no impact on prey population dynamics.

9.

What are some examples of symbiotic relationships?

a)

Birds and trees (parasitism)

b)

Examples of symbiotic relationships include: 1. Clownfish and sea anemones (mutualism), 2. Remora fish and sharks (commensalism), 3. Tapeworms in the intestines of mammals (parasitism).

c)

Lichens and rocks (mutualism)

d)

Bees and flowers (commensalism)

10.

How does climate change impact living beings?

a)

Climate change improves biodiversity and species resilience.

b)

Climate change has no effect on food and water resources.

c)

Climate change only affects human populations, not other living beings.

d)

Climate change negatively impacts living beings by disrupting ecosystems, threatening species survival, and affecting food and water resources.
