3 5. The picture below shows the energy flow through a meadow community. 6. The diagram below shows a simple food web. Which statement best describes the flow of energy as it passes through the organisms in the pyramid?. Energy flows through the organisms from bottom to top and increases at each level..

4 7. The table below contains information about animal diets. Which energy pyramid best represents the data in the table? 8. Examining Simple ommunities group of organisms that interact with and depend upon one another is called a community. The movement of matter and energy through a community can be studied by examining its food web. s organisms eat other organisms, energy and nutrients pass through various feeding levels. These feeding levels are called trophic levels. The following is a diagram of the energy and nutrient flow through a simple community... ccording to the diagram, nutrients from dead organisms are released into the soil by the action of.. producers. first order consumers. third order consumers.. decomposers. page 4

Which arrow on the carbon cycle diagram represents the process that takes the longest amount of time to occur? They capture nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into forms that plants can use. page 9
10 21. The illustration below shows part of the carbon cycle. 23. In one of the steps of the carbon cycle, a person exhales a molecule of carbon dioxide (O 2 ) into the atmosphere. Which of the following is most likely to happen next to the atom of carbon in this molecule?. It may be used as part of a sugar in a plant.. It may become part of a protein in an animal.. It may be consumed as a fossil fuel is burned.. It may be decomposed into carbon and oxygen by a bacterium. t position Y, carbon is most likely to be in which of the following forms?. protein. carbon solid. carbohydrate. carbon dioxide 24. Which of the following correctly explains how atmospheric nitrogen is converted to nitrogen compounds used by living organisms?. Sunlight converts atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by protists. 22. Which of the following explains why elements, such as carbon and oxygen, that are used in organic molecules are not permanently removed from the environment?. They are replenished by sunlight.. They are cycled through ecosystems.. Plant leaves convert atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by animals.. acteria in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by plants.. Invertebrate animals in soil convert atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by fungi.. They are replaced by volcanic eruptions.. They are produced constantly from nutrients. page 10
11 25. The diagram below shows part of the carbon cycle. 26. The following diagram shows the nitrogen cycle. If many trees are removed from a forest by logging, what is the most immediate effect on the carbon cycle in that forest?. increased rates of decomposition. decreased use of atmospheric O 2. decreased combustion of fossil fuels. increased production of organic compounds nimals need nitrite (NO 2 ) to make proteins. Nitrogen (N 2 ) is found in the air but is not in a form that animals can use. Through the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen from the atmosphere becomes nitrite. Which of these can be concluded about the importance of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?. acteria are important because they make nitrites that animals need.. acteria are important because they change nitrogen into nitrites that animals need.. acteria are important because they allow plant roots to absorb nitrites from the air.. acteria are important because they decompose plant matter that compete with living plants for nitrites. 27.
