If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. (2 points each) 32. A habitat meets most of the needs of the organisms that live in it. __________________ 33. Density- dependent limiting factors usually affect only small populations. __________________ 34. All of the members of a community belong to the same species. __________________ 35. An organism that eats only plants is a secondary consumer. __________________ 36. All the biotic and abiotic factors in an area together make up a community. __________________ 37. A food web can connect a terrestrial and an aquatic ecosystem. __________________ 38. Both species benefit in the type of symbiosis called commensalism. __________________ Version o1 o2 Diagram (16 points total) First, label the pyramid levels (producers, primary consumers…). Next, using the food web on the left, put the hawk, snake, shrew, frog, marsh grass, grasshopper, cricket, and cattail into the food pyramid to the right. quaternary consumers hawk tertiary consumers snake secondary consumers frog hawk primary consumers shrew snake shrew grasshopper frog cricket producers marsh grass grasshopper cricket cattail marsh grass cattail Short response (6points each) If the snake required 150 Kcal of energy, what is the minimum amount of energy that would have to be stored in the producers? Explain your answer. If a disease came along that reduced the frog population what would be the effect on the rest of the organisms in the food web? Version o1 o2
