Question

Drag and drop the choices to best label each list based on the characteristics. Be sure to analyze each list carefully.

Energy Transfer in Food Webs (Exceeding) Screen 4.2

carnivore
consumer
decomposer
omnivore
organism
producer
Animal
ecosystem
herbivore
Pyramid

Answer 1

I don’t have the actual lists from Screen 4.2, so I’ll match each likely characteristic/definition you’d see in an “Energy Transfer in Food Webs” exercise to the best label from your choices. Use these pairings to drag-and-drop onto the corresponding lists/definitions.

- Makes its own food by photosynthesis; base of food chains and energy pyramids → producer
(producers supply energy to all other trophic levels)

- Obtains energy by eating other organisms; any organism that eats producers or other consumers → consumer

- Breaks down dead organisms and returns nutrients to the ecosystem → decomposer

- Eats only plants → herbivore

- Eats only other animals → carnivore

- Eats both plants and animals → omnivore

- A living thing (plant, animal, fungus, bacterium, etc.) → organism

- A living, multicellular animal (mammal, insect, bird, etc.) → Animal

- All the living organisms plus the nonliving factors (water, soil, climate) in an area interacting → ecosystem

- A diagram that shows how energy decreases at each trophic level (producers → consumers) → Pyramid (energy pyramid)

If you paste the actual lists/descriptions from Screen 4.2, I can place these exact labels into each list for you.
