This review document contains questions about a sample food chain/web and general energy concepts. The food chain example shows plants as producers, with aphids consuming plants and then robins consuming aphids, and sparrow hawks at the top consuming robins. It asks if it is a chain or web, to name producers, and identifies robins as the second level consumer. It also asks which organism would be more abundant and have the most available energy. The general questions cover the sun as the primary energy source, and differences between producers, consumers and decomposers, why consumers eat, and ways energy is lost between trophic levels.
