Food Web Quiz

What is a producer in a food web?

• An organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis

• A type of decomposer that breaks down dead organic matter

• An organism that only eats other organisms

• A consumer that feeds on primary producers

What is a consumer in a food web?

• An organism that feeds on other organisms in the ecosystem

• A plant that produces its own food through photosynthesis

• An organism that does not rely on other organisms for food

• A decomposer that breaks down dead organisms

What is a decomposer in a food web?

• Organism that produces energy from the sun

• Organism that helps in the process of photosynthesis

• Organism that breaks down dead or decaying organic matter

• Organism that preys on other organisms for food

Explain how energy flows in a food web.

• Energy flows from producers to consumers and then to decomposers.

• Energy flows from predators to prey and then to decomposers.

• Energy flows from consumers to producers and then to decomposers.

• Energy flows from decomposers to producers and then to consumers.

What is the role of a predator in a food web?

• Helping the prey species to reproduce

• Controlling the population of prey species and maintaining the balance of the ecosystem

• Providing food for the prey species

• Competing with other predators for resources

What is the relationship between a predator and its prey?

• Predators and prey are both plants that rely on sunlight for energy.

• Predators and prey have a symbiotic relationship where they both benefit from each other.

• Predators hunt and consume their prey for food.

• Predators and prey do not interact with each other in any way.

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

• A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms, while a food web consists of many interconnected food chains.

• A food chain involves only producers, while a food web involves only consumers.

• A food chain is more complex than a food web.

• A food chain is a web of interconnected organisms, while a food web is a linear sequence of organisms.

How are food chains and food webs similar?

• They both have no impact on the environment

• They both involve the interaction between animals and plants

• They both show the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem.

• They both only exist in aquatic ecosystems
