What is the difference between a Trophic Pyramid and Food Web?

A Trophic Pyramid shows the energy & mass available, but the food web shows directly who eats who.

A food web shows the mass & energy available, but the Trophic Pyramid shows directly who eats who.

A food web is so pretty to look at.

A trophic pyramid is so beautiful.

What does a Primary Consumer eat?

Producers and other primary consumers

Secondary and tertiary consumers

What does a food web represent?

All connections of energy flow throughout all organisms in a habitat.

The specific ways that mutualism is carried out.

A single pathway or energy flow between organisms.

What may happen if the snowshoe hare was removed from the food web pictured?

The shrew population would decrease due to being only hawk food source.

The insects in the habitat would increase.

The willow tree population would decrease.

Foxes would dies due to no food source.

Which of these is true about this food web?

The Mouse is most likely to die, several ways.

The Owl gets its energy from the producer.

The Lion gets its energy only from a wild cat.

The Kite gets its energy from the goat.

What is an ecological community?

A group of the same type of organisms.

A group of the same species of organisms.

Rabbits are members of a community in a meadow. The rabbits eat grasses, clover, as well as roots, seeds, and tree bark. What defines the organisms that share the same trophic level as the rabbits?

meadow animals that eat plants and plant products

snakes, hawks, and other animals that eat rabbits

community members that interact with rabbits

meadow animals that are about the same size as a rabbit

Juanita is studying the food web of the open ocean. Which step would be most useful for her to follow to identify the primary producers of the food web?

Look for tiny phytoplankton that float on the ocean surface.

Look for floating plants, such as water lilies.

Look for small animal plankton near the ocean surface

Look for plants or animals that live along the ocean floor

The diagram shows a model of feeding relationships in an ecosystem? What is shown by the arrows that lead to and from the raccoon?

The raccoon is part of one food web and several overlapping food chains.

The raccoon is part of several food chains, but not a food web.

The raccoon is part of several food chains and several food webs.

The raccoon is part of one food web, but no food chains.

Karen is classifying a group of organisms that are either primary producers or consumers. What is the direct source of energy for all of the consumers?

either producers or other consumers

nonliving sources, such as sunlight

Which of the following BEST describes the flow of energy through a food chain?

Energy flows from primary producers to consumers, in one direction only.

Energy flows between primary producers and consumers, in either direction.

Energy flows from consumers to primary producers, in one direction only.

Energy flows between primary producers and consumers, in an endless cycle.

The diagram shows a model of an ecosystem. What does the model represent?

the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level

the total biomass in each trophic level

the total amount of energy in the ecosystem

the conservation of energy as energy transfers between organisms

A pyramid of biomass is one way to model an ecosystem. How does the amount of biomass generally change from the bottom of the pyramid to the top?

The amount of biomass decreases.

The amount of biomass increases.

The amount of biomass varies only slightly, and may increase or decrease.

The amount of biomass varies widely, and both increases and decreases.
