What would most likely happen if an ecosystem no longer received sunlight?

All living organisms would eventually die

The number of herbivores would increase

The number of plants would increase

The figure shows an ecosystem with different plants and animals. What statement can you make about the flow of energy in this ecosystem?

Grass can use and store energy from the sun, which eventually flows to all of the other life forms.

On a rainy day, no energy will flow in this ecosystem.

Eagles get their energy from the sun.

If eagles are removed from the ecosystem, plants will die.

How can you tell if an animal is growing in the simulation?

Matter cubes are being added to the animal's body from the food matter it takes in.

Matter cubes are not being added to the animal's body.

Matter cubes are escaping the organism and falling to the ground.

When animals eat food, they take in the body molecules of plants or other animals. Why is this done?

They use them to build and grow their bodies and to release energy.

They use them to build more food.

They are not used for anything.

Molecules disappear once inside of the plant or animal.

According to the Healthy Ecosystem Model, what happens to the grass molecules once they are eaten by the zebra?

The grass molecules turn into zebra body molecules so the zebra can move and grow.

The grass molecules are transferred into the cheetah.

There is no change to the grass molecules.

According to the Healthy Ecosystem Model, what happens to the zebra molecules once they are eaten by the cheetah?

The zebra molecules turn into cheetah body molecules, or they are released as energy so the cheetah can move and grow.

The zebra molecules turn into light molecules.

The zebra molecules are released into the grass.

There is no change to the zebra molecules.

After the cheetah eats a zebra what happens to the zebra molecules inside the cheetah (use your ideas from the previous unit on chemical reactions) ?

There is a chemical reaction taking place in which the the zebra body molecules are turning into cheetah body molecules.

There is not a chemical reaction taking place.

The zebra becomes grass molecules.

Based on what happened in the Sim, what happens to the food molecules in an animal's body? Select 3 correct answers.

Some are used to make body molecules

Some are released as energy that helps the animal move

Some molecules are stored in the animal's body then disappear.

Most molecules disappear before even entering the animal.

Which environments will NOT produce healthy plants?

Each of the environments will produce healthy plants.
