Multiple Choice
The diagram below shows living and nonliving factors and the interaction between them. The diagram best represents
a species
a population
a community
an ecosystem
Answer explanation
The diagram shows all the living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) factors interacting in the environment.
3.
Multiple Choice
Which statement best describes an energy pyramid?
There is more energy at the consumer level than at the producer level.
There is more energy at the producer level that at the consumer level.
There is more energy at the secondary-consumer level than at the primary-consumer level.
There is more energy at the decomposer level than at the consumer level.
Answer explanation
In an energy pyramid, the amount of energy (and organisms) at each level decreases as you go from the bottom of the pyramid to the top.
4.
Multiple Choice
In an ecosystem, the more living requirements that two different species have in common, the more intense will be their
ecological succession
competition
energy requirements
evolution
Answer explanation
In a given environment, there is a limit on the number of resources available to the organisms. The more a resource is needed, the more intense the 'fight' for that resource will be.
5.
Multiple Choice
Which level of consumers contains the largest percentage of total stored energy?
Level A
Level B
Level C
Level D
