  • Q5
    What is the main difference between how autotrophs and heterotrophs acquire energy?
    Heterotrophs can synthesize their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while autotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for energy.
    Autotrophs can synthesize their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs depend on consuming other organisms for energy.
    Autotrophs obtain energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs rely on external sources of energy.
    Both autotrophs and heterotrophs depend on consuming other organisms for energy.
    Autotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms, while heterotrophs synthesize their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

  • Q12
    What is the function of detritivores in a food chain/food web?
    They help regulate the populations of primary consumers
    They produce energy through photosynthesis
    They consume living organisms for food and energy
    They help break down dead organisms and waste, returning nutrients to the environment
    30s
  • Q13
    How do detritivores contribute to the energy flow in a food chain/food web?
    They consume primary consumers for energy
    They capture sunlight to produce food for themselves and other organisms
    They convert dead organic matter into energy for themselves and other organisms
    They break down inorganic matter, releasing energy for other organisms
    30s
  • Q14
    Which of the following statements accurately compares and contrasts photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?
    Photosynthesis requires sunlight, while chemosynthesis does not.
    Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis both produce oxygen as a byproduct.
    Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis both take place in animals.
    Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis both require sunlight.

  • Q15
    Why is the pyramid shape used to represent energy, biomass, and numbers pyramids?
    It visually represents the increasing amount of energy, biomass, or numbers at higher trophic levels.
    It visually represents the constant amount of energy, biomass, or numbers at each trophic level.
    It visually represents the decreasing amount of energy, biomass, or numbers at higher trophic levels.
    It visually represents the random distribution of energy, biomass, or numbers across trophic levels.
