They perform many valuable jobs in an ecosystem, including decomposition.

They all cause life-threatening diseases in animals, including humans.

They are too small to have any effect o the rest of the ecosystem.

They are all parasites, taking the food from plants and animals.

Why are decomposers necessary in the food chain?

They provide nutrients for plants.

Why are tropical rain forests found along the equator?

There is warm, moist air in this part of the world.

These areas are very close to the ocean.

The westerly winds bring a lot of rain clouds.

How is wind an important factor to the ecosystem?

It carries seeds to knew locations.

It helps propel the water cycle.

What is an ecosystem?

A community of living and nonliving things interacting with each other

The community of non living thing

What would most likely result if all plants in an area were destroyed?

Consumer populations would decrease because plants provide them with energy.

Consumer populations would increase because more sunlight would reach the ground.

Decomposer populations would increase because more sunlight would reach the ground.

Consumer populations would decrease because plants provide them with water.

What would most likely happen if all of the decomposers in an ecosystem were removed?

The plants in the ecosystem would eventually die because of a lack of nutrients in the soil.

The animals in the ecosystem would die because of the spread of disease.

The plants in the ecosystem would begin to die out because of a decrease in available water.

The animals in the ecosystem would eat other types of food because of a decrease in producers.

A food chain in an ecosystem includes blackberry bushes, deer, and wolves. • Deer eat blackberries. • Wolves eat deer. If the population of wolves decreases, how will this affect the population of blackberry bushes?

It will decrease because there will be more deer.

It will decrease because there will be fewer deer.

It will increase because there will be fewer deer.

It will increase because there will be more deer.

What is the role of a producer?

to make food for themselves and other organisms

to make carbon dioxide & oxygen

Which of the following statements best describes a decomposer?

They are biotic and break down dead material.

They are abiotic and only eat producers that are biotic.

They are abiotic and eat both plants and animals.

They consume other biotic things for energy.

In an ecosystem, many birds depend on insects. If pesticide is spread to control the insect population, which of the following will most likely happen?
