In a food chain, with each feeding relationship, the energy transferred from one organism to another will **decrease**. This is due to the second law of thermodynamics, where energy is lost at each trophic level, primarily as heat, as well as due to the inefficiencies in the transfer of energy through metabolic processes.
Most food chains normally consist of no more than (1 point)
zero to one organism.
three to five organisms.
eight to nine organisms.
two to three organisms.
zero to one organism.
three to five organisms.
eight to nine organisms.
two to three organisms.

Most food chains normally consist of no more than **three to five organisms**. This is because energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, and longer food chains become less sustainable as energy diminishes with each level.
The black bear is common to North America. Black bears eat many foods, mainly grass,
roots, berries, and insects. However, fish and mammals—including those already dead—are
also part of their diet. Some tend to wander near campsites and can develop a taste for human
food and garbage. Given this information, which term most accurately characterizes black
bears? (1 point)
decomposers
carnivores
omnivores
producers

The term that most accurately characterizes black bears is **omnivores**. This is because they eat a variety of foods, including plants (grass, roots, berries) and animals (fish, insects, and even dead mammals).
What is the usual composition of a food chain? (1 point)

The usual composition of a food chain is **a decomposer, a producer, and some consumers**. This structure reflects the flow of energy, beginning with producers (like plants), followed by consumers (herbivores and carnivores), and including decomposers that break down dead organic matter.
