- Q2The diagram shows a partial East Texas food web. Which table correctly classifies these organisms?30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy
- Q3The amount of energy the producers in this energy pyramid provide the primary consumers is 54,000 joules. From this amount, 540 joules are provided to the tertiary consumers. Based on this model, how much of the energy was provided to secondary consumers?54 J540 J53,460 J5,400 J30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy
- Q4Part of a hydrothermal vent food web is represented in the diagram. Which organisms are both secondary and tertiary consumers in this food web?Chemosynthetic bacteria and amphipodsZooplankton and musselsRatfish and octopusesGalatheid crabs and zoarcid fish30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy
- Q5The food web shows the flow of energy through a sagebrush-steppe ecosystem. Which of these organisms are in a trophic level that receives a larger percentage of the energy captured by the producers than the percentage received at the bats’ trophic level?SnakesGround squirrelsHawksMountain lions30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy
- Q6A student is asked to draw a food web in which the same organism is a primary consumer as well as a secondary consumer. How should the organism be represented in the food web?The organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a primary consumer and another arrow pointing away from it to a decomposerThe organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a secondary consumer and another arrow pointing to it from the top predatorThe organism must have an arrow pointing to it from a producer and another arrow pointing to it from a primary consumerThe organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a tertiary consumer and another arrow pointing from it to a decomposer30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy

- Q8A terrestrial food web is shown below. Which of the following lists only organisms that are secondary consumers in this food web?Predaceous insects, toads, spiders, and foxesInsectivorous birds, seed-eating birds, owls, and hawksSpiders, foxes, owls, hawks, and snakesMice, rabbits, herbivorous insects, and squirrels30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy

- Q10The Texas blind salamander (Eurycea rathbuni) lives in the Edwards Aquifer region around San Marcos. Along with other species the salamander lives in total darkness in the underground crevices and caves of the aquifer region. The table lists some of the organisms that live in this environment and their food sources. In an energy pyramid for these aquifer cave dwellers, which of the following would be placed at the bottom?Blind shrimpProtozoaSnailsTexas blind salamanders30sB.12.C: Flow Of Matter & Energy
