1. One hundred units of light energy strikes a leaf of a plant in one day. The plant will use that light energy in the process of photosynthesis to create at least 110 units of food energy.
2. If we consume 1500 Calories, they will be converted by the digestion process into 2000 Calories of available energy.
3. All organisms waste energy as they work to survive and reproduce.
4. More than one hundred percent of the heat energy at a hot spring can be converted into food energy by chemosynthetic bacteria.

4. glucose
10. What is the bottom level of a food chain called?
1. producer level
2. first consumer level
3. decomposer level

11. In the food chain grass => grasshopper => bird, the grasshopper would occupy which trophic level?
1. producer level
2. first consumer level
3. decomposer level
4. second consumer level
12. In the food chain grass => grasshopper => bird, which level would the bird occupy?
1. producer level
2. first consumer level
3. decomposer level
4. second consumer level
13. A student has diagramed the grass => grasshopper => bird food chain as shown. Is he correct? If not, which selection best explains his error(s)?
1. Yes. There are no errors.
2. No. He has calculated the number of calories incorrectly. It should be 1500 then 15 then 1.5.
3. No. He has mislabeled the first and second consumer levels. If they were reversed, everything would be correct.
4. No. He has labeled the bird as a carnivore. Birds have no teeth, so they can’t be called a carnivore. Everything else is okay.

3. 100–150
4. 150–200
5. 200–250
18. Why should experiments have at least two groups?
1. The two groups allow us to make sure we did not miss anything in the experiment.
