    Jewel Agicha
    This document contains a 10 question worksheet about ecosystems and environmental concepts. It covers topics like trophic levels in a food chain, components of an ecosystem, energy transfer between trophic levels, biomagnification, ozone depletion, producers, energy forms, food webs, direction of energy flow, and percentage of solar energy absorbed by plants. It also includes short answer questions about crop fields as artificial ecosystems, biodegradable vs non-biodegradable substances, defining ecosystem terminology, the role of decomposers, why energy flow is unidirectional, and differences between food chains and webs.

    WORKSHEET (OUR ENVIRONMENT)

    1. In a food chain, the third trophic level is always occupied by

     (a) carnivores

     (b) herbivores

     (c) decomposers

     (d) producers

    2. An ecosystem includes

     (a) all living organisms

     (b) non-living objects

     (c) both living organisms and non-living objects

     (d) sometimes living organisms and sometimes non-living objects

    3. In the given food chain, suppose the amount of energy at fourth trophic level is 5 kJ, what
    will be the energy available at the producer level?

    higher trophic level is known as

     (a) eutrophication
     (b) pollution

     (c) biomagnification

     (d) accumulation

    5. Depletion of ozone is mainly due to

     (a) chlorofluorocarbon compounds

     (b) carbon monoxide

     (c) methane

     (d) pesticides

    6. Organisms which synthesise carbohydrates from inorganic compounds using radiant energy
    are called

     (a) decomposers

     (b) producers

     (c) herbivores

     (d) carnivores

    7. In an ecosystem, the 10% of energy available for transfer from one trophic level to the next is
    in the form of

     (a) heat energy

     (b) light energy

     (c) chemical energy

     (d) mechanical energy

    8. Organisms of a higher trophic level which feed on several types of organisms belonging to a
    lower trophic level constitute the

     (a) food web

     (b) ecological pyramid

     (c) ecosystem

     (d) food chain


    9. Flow of energy in an ecosystem is always

     (b) bidirectional

     (c) multi directional
