1. QuestionMultiple choice

In a food chain, which organism is a primary producer?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A grass plant.

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Plants are producers because they make organic molecules using light energy or chemical energy.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Plants are producers because they make organic molecules using light energy or chemical energy.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Why does available energy generally decrease at higher trophic levels?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Energy is used for life processes and much is released as heat at each level..

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Only a fraction of energy is transferred between trophic levels because organisms use energy for metabolism and release heat.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Only a fraction of energy is transferred between trophic levels because organisms use energy for metabolism and release heat.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is They break down dead material and return nutrients to the environment..

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Decomposers recycle matter by breaking down organic material and releasing nutrients.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Decomposers recycle matter by breaking down organic material and releasing nutrients.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A population grows rapidly when resources are abundant, then levels off near a stable size. Which model best describes this pattern?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Logistic growth.

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Logistic growth includes rapid increase followed by slowing near the carrying capacity.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Logistic growth includes rapid increase followed by slowing near the carrying capacity.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is carrying capacity?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

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

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Carrying capacity depends on available resources and limiting factors in an environment.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Carrying capacity depends on available resources and limiting factors in an environment.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Two species use the same limited food resource in the same habitat. Which interaction is most likely?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Competition.

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Competition occurs when organisms require the same limited resource.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Competition occurs when organisms require the same limited resource.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A bee obtains nectar from a flower while pollinating the flower. What type of interaction is this?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Mutualism.

  1. Identify the biology concept: Determine whether the question focuses on cells, heredity, evolution, ecology, or scientific modeling.
  2. Use evidence and vocabulary: Both the bee and the flowering plant benefit, so the relationship is mutualism.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer matches the biological relationship, process, or evidence described in the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC task.

Both the bee and the flowering plant benefit, so the relationship is mutualism.
