In a pond ecosystem, mosquito larvae feed on photosynthetic algae. Other larvae, such as dragonfly larvae, feed on the mosquito larvae. The dragonfly larvae are, in turn, consumed by fish, whichcan be preyed upon by raccoons.How many different organisms in this ecosystem get their energy from the food they consume?1.

A more complete way of looking at the interaction between different species and energy transfer is A. thermodynamics B. menus C. food web D. food chain
Which statement about energy is false?Group of answer choices It includes work, plus anything that can be transformed into work. In chemical form, it is passed up the food chain, along with nutrients. It moves between the living and nonliving world. Because energy is neither created nor destroyed, ecosystems can run indefinitely without any input energy. Some ecosystems can function independent of the energy of sunlight.
Based off the graph answer the question. Right now, a lot of biofuel is made from corn grain. If society were to switch to biofuels made from grass, which of the following statements correctly states the overall difference in energy input per hectare of crop? A. Society would use about the same amount of energy in crop growth. B. Society would use about 90% more energy per hectare of crop. C. Society would use about 90% less energy per hectare of crop.
What happens if there’s a natural disturbance (drought) affecting the balance of the food chain so that the Sun +E can supply only 4 energy units per plant? Compute for energy units following the table above and answer the following questions: What is the effect of reduced energy supply (nutrients or food) to the plants? Which components received comparatively less energy in the disturbed food chain? What could be the consequences of the above? If human beings were the last component in this food chain, what would be the consequences of reduced nutrient supply to plants?
Which of the following describe an autotroph? Select all that apply. An autotroph is a producer. An autotroph is an organism that obtains carbon from organic compounds assembled by other organisms. An autotroph is an organism that makes its own food using energy from the environment and carbon from inorganic molecules. Autotrophs are consumers.
