FOOD WEBS 5.9B & CHANGES TO ENVIRONMENTS 5.9C

What is the term used to describe how organisms depend on one another for survival?

• INTERDEPENDENCY

• ECOSYSTEM

   

• COMPETITION

From what original source do all food webs get their energy?

• All energy transferred through food webs is derived from the SUN

• All energy transferred through food webs is derived from the PLANTS

• All energy transferred through food webs is derived from the ANIMALS

• All energy transferred through food webs is derived from the SOIL

• All energy transferred through food webs is derived from the ATMOSPHERE

Different parts of a food web - What is the term used for organisms that get their energy from eating other plants and animals?

• CONSUMERS get their energy from other organisms by eating them.

• PRODUCERS get their energy from other organisms by eating them. 

• DECOMPOSERS get their energy from other organisms by eating them.

Different parts of a food web - Plants use the Sun's energy to create their own food through photosynthesis. What term is used to describe plants?

• PRODUCERS use the Sun’s energy to create their own food through photosynthesis.

• CONSUMERS use the Sun’s energy to create their own food through photosynthesis.

• DECOMPOSERS use the Sun’s energy to create their own food through photosynthesis.

Different parts of a food web - Micro organisms such as worms, bacteria and fungi  break down nutrients in dead and decaying organisms and return them to the food web. What term is given to these organisms?

• DECOMPOSERS break down the nutrients in dead and decaying organisms and return them to the food web. 

• CONSUMERS break down the nutrients in dead and decaying organisms and return them to the food web. 

• PRODUCERS break down the nutrients in dead and decaying organisms and return them to the food web. 

CONSUMERS (an organism that feeds on other organisms for energy) have different roles within the ecosystem. What is the role of a HERBIVORE?

• HERBIVORES are consumers that eat plants only.

• HERBIVORES are consumers that eat meat (other animals) only.

• HERBIVORES are consumers that eats both plants and other animals.

CONSUMERS (an organism that feeds on other organisms for energy) have different roles within the ecosystem. What is the role of a CARNIVORE?

• CARNIVORES are consumers that eat meat (other animals) only.

• CARNIVORES are consumers that eats both plants and other animals.

• CARNIVORES are consumers that eat plants only.

CONSUMERS (an organism that feeds on other organisms for energy) have different roles within the ecosystem. What is the role of an OMNIVORE?

• OMNIVORES are consumers that eat plants only.

• OMNIVORES are consumers that eat meat (other animals) only.

• OMNIVORES are consumers that eats both plants and other animals.

What is the difference between PREDATOR and PREY?

• A PREDATOR is an animal that HUNTS down another animal, and the PREY is the animal which is HUNTED. 

• A PREDATOR is an animal that is HUNTED by another animal, and the PREY is the animal which HUNTS other animals.

How does the energy flow from one organism to the next in a food web - What do the ARROWS represent? 

• ARROWS show how food energy is passed from one organism to the other (ENERGY TRANSFER). 

• ARROWS show which animal eats what other animal.

• ARROWS show the direction of where foods goes (North, South, East, West)
