Food Chains & Webs Review-H 7th Grade Environmental Science Mrs. Krempa Name __________________________________________ Date & Section __________________________________ Answer the following questions without looking at your notes! You must go through ALL of the questions at least once! Circle the number to the questions you don’t know or are unsure of, then look up the correct answer in your notes! All of this information is fair game for your test! 1. Name & briefly describe the three basic energy roles in an ecosystem. For each role, give an example of an organism that plays that role. a. _________________________________________________________________________________ Example ___________________________________ b. _________________________________________________________________________________ Example ___________________________________ c. _________________________________________________________________________________ Example ___________________________________ 2.
