Question 15

This tortoise is eating cactus on a sunny day. Is carbon moving into the air, moving out of the air, or both?

Accepted Answer

Carbon is moving into the air and out of the air at the same time.

Answer

Carbon is not moving into the air; it is only moving out of the air.

Answer

With this information, there is no way to know for sure.

Answer

Carbon is only moving into the air; it is not moving out of the air.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

all organisms in the river

Answer

plants

Answer

animals and decomposers

Answer

animals

Question 17

What will happen if a drought causes the population of grass to decrease?

Accepted Answer

The population of mice will decrease because there will be less food available due to the drought.

Answer

The population of decomposers will decrease because there are less organisms dying.

Answer

The population of owls will not be affected because they are predators who do not eat grass.

Answer

The population of grasshoppers will increase because they will find a different, better food source.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

from the bottom of the pyramid to the top

Answer

from the top of the pyramid to the bottom

Answer

none of these

Question 19

Describe the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration in the cycle of matter and energy transfer.

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen using sunlight, while respiration breaks down glucose to release energy and carbon dioxide.

Answer

Photosynthesis produces glucose and carbon dioxide using sunlight, while respiration breaks down oxygen to release energy and water.

Answer

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and water using sunlight, while respiration breaks down glucose to release energy and carbon dioxide.

Answer

Photosynthesis produces carbon dioxide and water using sunlight, while respiration breaks down water to release energy and oxygen.

Question 20

What is the role of respiration in the cycle of matter and energy transfer?

Accepted Answer

Respiration breaks down glucose to release energy and carbon dioxide.

Answer

Respiration produces glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Answer
