What is the main source of toxins entering ecosystems?

Chemicals used in industry and agriculture

Natural geological processes

Biological interactions among organisms

Atmospheric pollution

What is the long-term impact of toxins on ecosystems?

Harm to ecosystem health and inhabitants

Stabilization of food webs

Improved ecological balance

Enhanced biodiversity

What are toxins?

Poisonous substances that can harm or kill living things

Harmful chemicals used in agriculture

Beneficial substances for ecosystems

Nutrients essential for plant growth

How do toxins affect living organisms in ecosystems?

They can harm or kill living things

They have no impact on organisms

They provide essential nutrients for growth

They enhance reproductive success

How do changes in an ecosystem due to human activities impact wildlife?

They can lead to loss of habitats and food sources

They always benefit wildlife

They provide more habitats for wildlife

They have no impact on wildlife

What can be a consequence of natural disasters in an ecosystem?

Destruction of habitats and loss of species

No impact on species population

Enhanced resources for surviving species

Increased biodiversity

What can happen when new plants or animals arrive in an ecosystem?

They lead to competition for resources among native species

They lead to cooperation among native species

They have no impact on native species

They always benefit native species

Which of the following is true about the components of an ecosystem?

Changes to one component can affect others

Nonliving things are not essential for ecosystem balance

Living and nonliving things are completely separate

Living things have no impact on nonliving things

When a secondary consumer eats a primary consumer, what happens to the energy?

Only a small part is transferred again

It is transferred to the Sun

It is stored in the secondary consumer

It is converted into minerals

Why is energy transfer not 100% efficient in ecosystems?

Energy is lost as heat and used for growth and reproduction

Because of the presence of decomposers

Energy is stored in the soil

Due to the lack of sunlight

Where does all the energy in an ecosystem originate from?

The Sun

Plants

Animals

The Moon

How does energy move through ecosystems?

It is transferred through food chains and webs

It is generated by decomposers

It is produced by photosynthesis

It is created by secondary consumers

What is the role of primary consumers in an ecosystem?

To consume producers

To release minerals into the soil

To produce energy through photosynthesis

Why is the woodpecker in the North American food web considered an omnivore?

Because it eats both plants and animals

Because it only eats animals

Because it only eats plants

Because it is a predator

Why do we use a food web instead of a food chain in ecosystems?

To understand all the feeding relationships

To show only one set of feeding relationships

To simplify the ecosystem

To focus on a single organism

Why are grasses considered producers in a food chain?

Because they make their own food

Because they eat other organisms

Because they are carnivores

Because they are secondary consumers

Why are primary consumers essential in a food chain?

Because they eat several types of plants

Because they are predators

Because they eat only meat

Because they are producers

What is the main purpose of a food chain in an ecosystem?

To show where living things get their food

To analyze geographical features

To determine the population size of organisms

To predict the weather patterns
