    1. This document contains a multiple choice test on ecosystems and the cycling of matter and energy within ecosystems. It addresses topics like producers, consumers, decomposers, photosynthesis, respiration, food webs, and the carbon and water cycles. 2. It includes questions that require analyzing diagrams of ecosystems, food webs, and biogeochemical cycles. The questions assess understanding of the roles and interactions of biotic and abiotic factors in ecosystems. 3. Data from a long-term study on the density of fir trees on Isle Royale is also presented, with questions targeting the effects of changes in tree numbers on atmospheric carbon and oxygen levels.

    1- Cycling of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems

    Multiple Choice
    Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

    ____ 1. Ecosystems are composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Which of the following
    represent only an abiotic factor in an ecosystem that could have an effect on
    the ecosystem?
    a. rivers with more dams
    b. wood being taken for manufacturing
    c. waste not being used by fungi
    d. decomposers only taking nutrients from plants

    ____ 2. The arrows in the diagram represent the exchange of gases between different
    organisms and the environment.

    Which biotic factor must take in carbon dioxide released by other parts of the
    ecosystem to survive?
    a. rabbit c. bird
    b. insect d. tree

    ____ 3. Why are producers needed in an ecosystem by other biotic factors?


    a. in order to decompose c. in order to move
    b. in order to obtain energy d. in order to get sunlight

    ____ 4. The illustration below shows a cross section of the edge of a pond in the
    northeastern United States. Many species of organisms are part of this
    ecosystem. Some of the organisms live on the land surrounding the pond, some
    spend time on the surface of the water, and some live below the pond’s
    surface.
    The pond water is an abiotic factor of this ecosystem. What abiotic factor
    provides energy to the producers within this ecosystem?
    a. the decomposers c. the water
    b. the pickerel d. the sun

    ____ 5. The diagram below shows mushrooms growing on a rotting log.

    What type of organisms have the role of returning energy from organisms to
    producers in the cycling of matter?
    a. consumers c. plants
    b. decomposers d. producers

    ____ 6. Plants and animals require large amounts of water in order to survive. Although
    vast numbers of plants and animals have lived throughout time, the water in
    our environment has not been used up. Which of the following explains why?
    a. Vast quantities of water are created by lightning in clouds.
    b. Organisms return water to the environment after they use it.
    c. Organisms combine hydrogen and oxygen to make their own
    water.
    d. Water continually flows from the center of the earth.
    ____ 7. Coal is mostly carbon. When coal is burned, it reacts with oxygen. The carbon
    dioxide produced is released into the atmosphere. The chemical reaction for
    coal burning is shown.
    C + O2  CO2

    This diagram shows the carbon moving directly into the biosphere.

    Based on the model shown, which statement correctly describes what may
    happen to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
    a. Carbon dioxide becomes solid and falls to the ground.
    b. Carbon dioxide burns in the atmosphere.
    c. Carbon dioxide is used by plants in photosynthesis.
    d. Carbon dioxide is breathed in by animals and humans.

    Multiple Response
    Identify one or more choices that best complete the statement or answer the question.

    ____ 8. A partial food web and a table of the changes in the population of squirrels are
    shown.
    Which two of the following effects could be caused by the change in the
    squirrel population between Years 1 and 4? (Select Two)
    a. The number of mice will increase.
    b. The population of foxes will decrease.
    c. The number of green plants will decrease.
    d. The populations of foxes and owls will increase.

    ____ 9. Analyze the carbon cycle model below.

    Aquatic respiration Land decay


    and decay

    Fossil fuels

    Select THREE statements that describe how carbon cycles from biotic and
    abiotic factors in the environment. (Select Three)
    a. Plants take in carbon from the atmosphere and convert it to
    glucose through photosynthesis.
    b. Decomposers in the environment take carbon from the once
    living organisms and return it to the environment around it.
    c. Fires remove carbon from the environment and put it into living
    plants
    d. Fish take in carbon from the atmosphere and convert it to food
    through photosynthesis and return it to the environment.
    e. Animals produce carbon through the process of cellular
    respiration returning carbon to the environment from living
    organisms.
    ____ 10. Fir Tree Density on Isle Royale
    Fir trees do not drop their leaves in the winter like deciduous trees do. Fir trees
    are an important food source for the moose on Isle Royale because they are a
    plant that the moose can eat year round. The number of trees on Isle Royale
    changes from year to year. Scientists have been counting the number of fir
    trees per hectare on Isle Royale since 1960. They conduct a tree survey every
    5 years. The data are shown in the following table.

    Using the data table, select the TWO pieces of evidence from the chart that
    support changes to the carbon and oxygen cycle. (Select Two)
    a. Increasing the number of trees, decreases the amount of oxygen
    in the atmosphere.
    b. Increasing the number of trees, has no effect on the amount of
    carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
    c. Increasing the number of trees, increases the amount of oxygen
    and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
    d. Decreasing the number of trees, decreases the amount of oxygen
    in the atmosphere.
    e. Decreasing the number of trees, increases the amount of carbon
    dioxide in the atmosphere.
