QUIZ FOR MODULE 2: INTERACTIONS

TEST I: IDENTIFICATION: Identify the missing word or the word being described by each item. Write the word in
the space provided before the number.

1. What do you call organisms that are capable of converting the sun’s energy into
chemical energy and the usual process is photosynthesis?
2. It represents just one path of energy flow through an ecosystem.
3. It is a complex pattern of interlocking and crisscrossing food chains.
4. is the total mass of organisms in a food chain or a food web.
5. How much biomass of humans can 1,000 kg of corn support.
6. It is an ecological pyramid that is based on the number of organisms at each
trophic level.
7. How many percent of energy is being passed on the next level in trophic levels or
ecological pyramids?
8. describe how elements move between organisms and the physical
environment.
9. is the process by which liquid water changes into water vapor.

10. In this biogeochemical cycle, nitrogen fixing bacteria convert atmospheric

nitrogen gas (N2) to organic forms and ammonium ion, which plants can use.

TEST II: ALTERNATE RESPONSE TEST: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong.
Write your answer in the space provided before each item.
1. Ecological pyramid can only be used to show energy levels.
2. Plants can be found at the 3rd level in trophic levels.
3. Energy is always at a 100% when transferred to the next level.
4. Essential nutrient cycles include those of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and water.
5. The main driving factor of the oxygen cycle is photosynthesis.
6. Energy moves from one trophic level to another. This means that energy flows from one
organism to another in the ecosystem.
7. One kind of food may be eaten by several consumers or several foods may be eaten by one
consumer.
8. Natural ecosystems have numerous food chains, each linked to others to form a complex
food web.
9. Flow of energy is the most important factor that controls what kinds of organisms live in an
ecosystem.
10. When people and organisms eat plants, chemical energy from food is transferred to their
bodies. Organisms that consume food for their energy supply are called decomposers.
11. They are capable of converting the sun’s energy into chemical energy. The usual process is
photosynthesis. Plants convert excess glucose to starch.
12. Every activity that an organism needs to do requires energy.
13. Energy flows through an ecosystem as the individuals of one population feed on those of
another.
14. The trophic structure in an ecosystem can be summarized in the form of an ecological
pyramid.
15. In the pyramid of energy less energy is found in each succeeding trophic level.
