Answer 1

Here are the responses to the matching terms and questions on food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids:

Term Matching

1. tertiary consumer - Organisms that eat secondary consumers.
2. omnivore - Organisms that eat both plants and animals.
3. secondary consumer - Organisms that eat primary consumers.
4. producer - Organisms that produce their own energy, typically through photosynthesis.
5. autotroph - Same as producer; organisms that produce their own food.
6. consumer - Organisms that rely on other organisms for energy.
7. primary consumer - Organisms that eat producers; typically herbivores.
8. herbivore - Organisms that eat plants.
9. carnivore - Organisms that eat other animals.
10. energy pyramid - A representation of the energy flow in an ecosystem, showing energy transfer between trophic levels.

Food Chain Responses

1. Which organism receives the most amount of energy from the sun? - Producer
