• The sun
• Carbon dioxide
• Water
• BONUS: photosynthesis
Question 4 - 40
• Which way do the arrows point in a food web
or food chain?
Answer 4 – 40
• Towards the organism that is eating
• Towards the consumer
Question 5 - 50

and a decomposer?
Answer 5 – 50
Question 1 - 10
Which section of the pyramid represents
secondary consumers?
Answer 1 – 10
• Level 3
Question 2 - 20
• Which section of the pyramid represents the
first trophic level?
Answer 2 – 20
• Level 1
Question 3 - 30

herbivores belocated?
Answer 3 – 30
• Level 2
Question 4 - 40
How much energy is passed on to the next level
of an energy pyramid?
Answer 4 – 40
• 10%
• The other 90% of the energy is lost as heat
during metabolism (when one organism
digests another)
Question 5 - 50
Place the following organisms on the correct
trophic level of an energy pyramid:
Answer 5 – 50
Question 1 - 10
What type of relationship do these images
represent?
Answer 4 – 10
Mutualism – both organisms benefit
Question 2 - 20
What relationship does this scenario represent:
A coyote captures, kills and eats a rabbit.
Answer 2 – 20
Predation – where one organism hunts and
feeds an another.
Question 3 - 30
What relationship does this scenarios describe:
A tapeworm lives in the intestine of a dog. It
absorbs food the dog has eaten and grows larger
in the process. The dog becomes weaker from
malnutrition.
Answer 3 – 30
Parasitism – one
species benefits and
the other is harmed.
Question 4 - 40
Aspen trees provide shade for small spruce and
fir trees. They would not grow as well in direct
sunlight.
This is an example of what type of relationship?
Answer 4 – 40
Commensalism – one organism benefits (spruce
& fir trees) and the other is neither harmed nor
benefits (aspen trees).
Question 5 - 50
What type of relationship is this an example of:
Bighorn sheep take in worm eggs when grazing.
The worm eggs hatch in the intestines and the
larvae migrate to muscle tissue. When the
larvae mature, they bore into capillaries and
float to the lungs where they form cysts. Large
numbers of these can affect the breathing of the
bighorn sheep.
Answer 5 – 50
Parasitism
