The kudzu vine was introduced to this country in the late 1800s. Today it can be found in many southern states. Kudzu eventually kills other plants it covers because it blocks out sunlight. Kudzu has been reported to grow roughly 1 foot per day.

Kudzu is a predator in a community.
Kudzu is an invasive species that can change an ecosystem.
Kudzu is an example of a pollutant that is destroying forest ecosystems.
Kudzu is an example of a non native in an ecosystem.

eat both plants and meat.
are meat eaters.
eat plants that got their energy from the sun.

Food Web
Web of Food

Jaden states that animals do not depend on energy from the Sun for food. How would you respond to this statement?
I would agree with Jaden because animals do not make their own food through photosynthesis.
I would agree with Jaden because animals eat other organisms to get energy.
I would disagree with Jaden because animals either eat plants or other animals that eat plants.
I would disagree with Jaden because animals sun themselves to help keep their bodies warm.
In 2000, a biologist studied a forest ecosystem and counted the number of plants, rabbits, snakes, and eagles living there. After this, a group of hawks were introduced into the ecosystem. In 2020, the biologist returned and counted the organisms again. The double bar graph shows the results.
What is the best explanation for why the number of eagles in the ecosystem decreased?
The hawks competed with the eagles for food.
The hawks hunted the eagles for food.
The hawks brought pollution, which poisoned the eagles.
The hawks destroyed the trees where the eagles had lived.
Look at the food chain. How do foxes get energy?
from eating rabbits
from eating grass
from the sun
from eating other foxes
Humans have no effect on ecosystems.
True
False
How does inflating a balloon show that matter is made up of particles?
The balloon is made up of gas particles that expand when it is filled with air.
The balloon gets larger as it fills up with the tiny air particles.
The energy of the air make the balloon change its shape and size.
The balloon changes its shape and size when heat is added.
