Diagram Link (only some of the questions require the diagram): http://www.learningbygrace.org/ap_biology/images/apbi34_5.c_foodchain4.gif 9. Which of the organism in the diagram above would contain the greatest amount of available energy for the ecosystem? trees, shrubs and grasses rabbit, mouse, cricket mouse, owl, hawk mountain lion, snake hawk cannot tell 10.) Which of the organisms found in the diagram is a carnivore? deer mouse cricket owl all of the above 11.) Primary consumers of the diagram include: snake and hawk cricket and deer rabbit and snake mouse and frog hawk and mountain lion 12.) In the diagram above which animals are most apt to be primary competitors? mouse, owl and hawk owl and mountain lion cricket, rabbit, deer mountain lion and deer owl, snake and hawk 13.) Although three different bird species all inhabit the same type of tree in an area, competition between the birds rarely occurs. The most likely explanation for this lack of competition is that these birds share food with each other. have different ecological niches. have a limited supply of food. are unable to interbreed. are different sizes. 14.) For 25 years, hay was cut from the same 10 acres on a farm. During these years, shrews, grasshoppers, spiders, rabbits, and mice were seen in this hayfield. After the farmer retired, he no longer cut the hay and the field was left unattended. What will most likely occur in the former hayfield over the next few decades? The plant species will change, but the animal species will remain the same. The animal species will change, but the plant species will remain the same. Neither the plant species nor the animal species will change. Both the plant species and the animal species will change. Unable to predict. 15.) The relationship between fleas and a dog is most similar to the relationship between honeybees and flower orchids and a tree nitrogen-fixing bacteria and a legume athlete's foot fungus and a human all of the above 16.) The roots of a mistletoe plant absorb nutrients from living oak trees, causing some damage to the tissues of the trees is an example of parasitism. commensalism. mutualism. saprophytism. competition. 17.) Protozoans living in the intestine of a termite secrete enzymes that digest cellulose, providing digestive end products of value to both organisms is an example of parasitism. commensalism. mutualism. saprophytism. competition. 18.) Certain fungi using dead organic matter for food is an example of parasitism. ·commensalism. mutualism. saprophytism. competition. 19.) Which organisms would most likely be the pioneer organisms on a newly formed volcanic island? conifers lichens deciduous trees tall grasses crustacians 20.) Which element is NOT recycled throughout an ecosystem by the processes of photosynthesis and respiration? carbon nitrogen hydrogen oxygen

1. 9 the plants 10 They want owl 11 mouse and frog eat plant matter 12 sorry, didn't look 13 it's all in the niche 14 Both will change 15 the fungus/foot 16 it's a parasite 17 mutualism is what they want 18 sapros eat dead stuff 19 That's wrong. I've always found ferns first on volcanoes, but they want you to say lichens. And that's not how you spell crustceans 20 Nitrogen
