Matter & Energy

The flow of energy between organisms can be shown using a pyramid shape because:

• There is more energy at the top than at the bottom

• There is more energy at the bottom than at the top

• Energy is lost as you move up the pyramid

• Both B and C

Why are animals important to the process of photosynthesis?

• Animals eat plants, which makes space for more plants to grow.

• Animals digest food, which provides the starting materials for photosynthesis.

• Animals release carbon dioxide, which provides the starting materials for photosynthesis.

• Animals produce energy in the form of heat, which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur.

How do organisms get the energy they need?

• Plants get energy from fertilizers, and animals get energy by drinking water.

• Plants get energy from glucose produced in the soil, and animals get energy directly from the sunlight.

• Plants do not require energy because they do not move, and animals get energy by performing exercise.

• Plants break down the glucose produced in photosynthesis, and animals get energy from eating other organisms.
