What happens to most of the energy transferred between trophic levels in a food chain?

• It is stored entirely in the next organism.

• It is mostly lost as heat during metabolic processes.

A car is driving around a circular track at a constant speed. Is the car accelerating?

• No, because its speed is constant.

• Yes, because its direction is constantly changing.

• Only if it speeds up or slows down.

What is the primary role of decomposers in an ecosystem?

• To produce new energy from sunlight.

• To consume living organisms for energy.

• To break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients.
