    This document is a quiz on ecological concepts including species, communities, and ecosystems. It contains 8 multiple choice and short answer questions that assess understanding of key terms and relationships. The questions cover topics such as: - Which ecological unit includes abiotic factors (ecosystem) - What communities are composed of (populations and abiotic factors) - Which organisms convert carbon into a form available to primary consumers (decomposers) - The role of snakes in a food web (heterotroph) - How populations form and remain the same species over time - The difference between energy flow in food chains vs nutrient movement
