1. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens to energy as it moves from producers to consumers in a food web?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Less energy is available at higher trophic levels..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Organisms use energy for life processes, so only part of it is available to the next level.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Organisms use energy for life processes, so only part of it is available to the next level.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is a food web?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is A network of connected food chains.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A food web shows several connected feeding relationships in an ecosystem.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A food web shows several connected feeding relationships in an ecosystem.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

If a drought reduces grass in a prairie, which population may decrease first?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Grass-eating herbivores.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Herbivores depend directly on grass for food, so less grass can reduce their available energy.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Herbivores depend directly on grass for food, so less grass can reduce their available energy.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which interaction occurs when two species use the same limited food source?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Competition.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Competition occurs when organisms need the same limited resource.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Competition occurs when organisms need the same limited resource.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A bee receives nectar from a flower while carrying pollen to another flower. What type of relationship is this?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Mutualism.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: The bee gets food and the flower benefits from pollination, so both organisms benefit.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

The bee gets food and the flower benefits from pollination, so both organisms benefit.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the carrying capacity of an environment?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The largest population the environment can support over time.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Carrying capacity depends on available resources and environmental conditions.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Carrying capacity depends on available resources and environmental conditions.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Why can removing a predator affect several populations in a food web?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Prey populations may increase and change pressure on their food sources..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A predator affects prey numbers, which can then affect producers and other consumers.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A predator affects prey numbers, which can then affect producers and other consumers.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which action is most likely to reduce biodiversity in a habitat?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Destroying and fragmenting the habitat.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Habitat destruction removes resources and can isolate populations, reducing biodiversity.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Habitat destruction removes resources and can isolate populations, reducing biodiversity.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is They recycle matter from dead organisms..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Decomposers break down dead matter and return nutrients to the environment.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Decomposers break down dead matter and return nutrients to the environment.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

How can a population become better suited to an environment over generations?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Helpful inherited variations become more common through natural selection..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Individuals with helpful inherited traits may survive and reproduce more often, increasing those traits in the population.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Individuals with helpful inherited traits may survive and reproduce more often, increasing those traits in the population.
