The food web below shows interactions between organisms in a forest.

1 (a) Use the food web above to identify:

A producer

Grass

An omnivore

Black Bear

A primary consumer

Deer

Humans built a large housing development in the forest which is the habitat of the
foxes. The foxes now use human trash as a source of food.

1 (c) Use your answer to part (b) to describe ‘how the deer population would, then be
affected.

The deer population will not be affected as Foxes do not feed on Deers
Cabomba is an aquatic plant that is often used for photosynthesis experiments.
Cabomba releases gas bubbles so is useful for this type of experiment. The image below
shows a typical set-up for plant photosynthesis experiments.
