Here are the answers to your multiple choice questions:
1. **How does carbon dioxide leave the atmosphere and become part of the food chain?**
- **Answer:** Through photosynthesis
2. **When a carbon atom combines with 2 oxygen atoms, what forms?**
- **Answer:** Carbon dioxide
3. **Where do animals get nitrogen?**
- **Answer:** From their food
4. **In this food chain, how would you classify plants?**
- **Answer:** Primary producer
5. **Check ALL that are correct. How do humans influence cycles of matter?**
- **Answer:** Water withdrawn from lakes and streams, clear vegetation (forests and other plants) ~ deforestation, burning fossil fuels and wood, runoff of animal waste, fertilizer, and sewage into surface water, fill in wetlands
6. **In the energy pyramid, which organisms have the least amount of energy available to them?**
- **Answer:** Apex or Top Predator
Regarding the final question about confidence in ecological concepts, that’s subjective and would depend on your specific areas of knowledge or interest. You could reflect on your strongest topics in ecology, such as food webs, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, or specific examples of species interactions.
