This document contains a biology test with questions about food chains and food webs. It defines food chains as a series of organisms that depend on each other for food and food webs as groups of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem. It provides examples of food chains and identifies organisms at different trophic levels, including primary and secondary consumers. It explains that each trophic level has less energy than the previous one due to energy loss during consumption. It also describes how removing one organism, such as parrots, would impact the food web.

A food chain is a series of which organisms depend on each other for food. b) Define food web. A food web is a group of food chains within an ecosystem. c) Draw two food chains that contains at least 4 organisms from the food web. Banana Plant ------ Macaw ------ Chimpanzee ------Jaguar Coconut ------ Insects ------ Parrots ------ Vampire Bats 2) A)1) Identify one organism from the food web that is both a primary and secondary consumer. In this case the chimpanzee is a primary and secondary consumer. A)2) Identify one organism from the 4th trophic level. The Monkey is one organism from the from the 4th trophic level. B) Explain why each subsequent trophic level has less energy than the previous level. Energy decreases as it goes up the trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by the next trophic level. C) Suggest one way in which the food web would be affected if the parrots are removed. There will be a reduce in the vampire bat species because its only food source would have been removed.
