Q.2 Answer the following questions.

1. Define primary succession.
Primary succession. the series of changes that occur in an area where no
ecosystem previously existed.

2. What is the difference between food chain and food web?

A food chain outlines who eats whom. A food web is all of the food chains in an
ecosystem.

Q.3 Label the following diagram using word bank.

 carbon dioxide
 Breathing
 Factories
 photosynthesis
 decomposition
 fossils

`
Q.4 Compare and contrast primary vs secondary succession.

 No previous life  Shrubs and small  Would occur after forest

 Happens over long trees grow fire or after humans clear
time  The end result is a a part of forest
 Would occur after climax community  Happens more quickly
a volcanic eruption than the other type
or glacier exposing  Soil is already present
new rock when this type of
succession begins
