What is a food web in an ecosystem?
A food web is all of the food chains interacting together in an ecosystem.

What does a decomposer do in an ecosystem?
Breaks down and recycles dead organic matter and waste back into soil as nutrients for plants to use again

This food chain shows the sun, a producer, and consumers. What important part of the food chain was left out of this image?
Decomposer- needed to break down and recycle nutrients back into the soil

Which animal populations are FIRST to be affected if the krill in the aquatic ecosystem were to become extinct?
Seal, Squid, Seagull, Blue Whale

Name three examples of consumers.
shark, owl, humans, etc...

The largest group of organisms found in a food web would be:
Tertiary Consumers
Secondary Consumers
Primary Consumers
Producers

Name three examples of producers.
plant, tree, grass, bushes, phytoplankton, etc...

What happens to a population when there is more food in an ecosystem?
The population will increase
Oops!
Okay!
What does a carnivore eat?
Other animals (meat)
Oops!

Name three examples of decomposers.
bacteria, fungi, worms, etc...
Oops!

What does an omnivore eat?
Both plants and animals
Oops!
Okay!
Which animal populations are FIRST to be affected if the plankton in the aquatic ecosystem were to become extinct?
Penguins, Krill
Oops!
Okay!
What happens to a population when there is less food in an ecosystem?
The population will decrease
Oops!
Okay!
What is a producer?
A plant or plant-like organism. Producers make their own food.

Okay!
What animal populations are first to be affected in this coniferous forest ecosystem if the seeds were to completely disappear?
Mouse and squirrel
Oops!
Okay!
What is a consumer in a food chain?
An organism that eats producers or other consumers for their energy.
Oops!
Okay!
What are some examples of limiting factors for populations in an ecosystem?
Competitions for food, space, water, etc... are all limiting factors for a population
Oops!
Okay!
In the energy pyramid here, which organisms have the most energy available?
Herbivores Top Predator
Producers
Herbivores
Carnivores

Okay!
Why is the sun important for an ecosystem?
The sun provides energy for plants to grow.
Oops!
Okay!
What would happen in this aquatic ecosystem food web if the blue whale became extinct?
Blue whales eat krill so there would be more krill. Krill eat plankton so there would be less plankton.
