    Answer the following questions correctly!


    1. The photograph shows a mammal called a mountain hare.

    Mountain hares eat plants.


    Foxes, cats and eagles are predators that eat mountain hares.
    (a) Give the name used to describe animals that eat plants
    (b) Use this information to draw a food web.

    2. When plants die they may decompose


    (a) Explain what is meant by the term decompose.
    (b) It is possible to measure the mass of humus in soil. The method involves drying the soil and then
    burning the dried soil. The formula below can then be used to calculate the percentage humus.

    bank. Three people were suspected of robbing the bank. The table gives data
    about the soil in the garden and on the shoes of suspects A, B and C
    Complete the table by using the formula to calculate the percentage humus
    in the soil from the shoe of suspect B
