    The document contains a quiz with questions about ecosystems and food webs. It asks about units of energy pyramids, the role of an organism in a food web diagram, the effects on populations if a species disappears from a food web, identifying autotrophs and consumers in another food web, differences between energy flow and nutrient movement, why energy pyramid levels differ in size, deducing a biome type from a climograph, and outlining changes during primary succession.
