Unit 4_Revision

Sec$on A: Food Web Iden$fica$on (6 marks)

Below is a food web:

1. Iden9fy the following from the food web:

a) Two producers:
_________________________________________________________
Grass and Grain (1 mark)

b) Two herbivores:
_________________________________________________________
grasshopper and rabbit (1 mark)

c) Two carnivores:
_________________________________________________________
Fox and Owl (1 mark)

d) Two omnivores:
_________________________________________________________
BIrd (1 mark)

1
e) Draw a food chain with exactly three links:
_________________________________________________________
Grass- Grasshopper- Owl (1 mark)

f) Draw a food chain with exactly four links:


_________________________________________________________
Grain- Grasshopper-Bird- Fox (1 mark)

Sec$on B: Energy Transfers (4 marks)

(1 mark each)

Sec$on C: Food Chains in Ecosystems (6 marks)

In a forest ecosystem:

Food Chain:
leaves → caterpillar → bird → hawk

1. What type of organism is the leaves?


_________________________________________________________
Producer (1 mark)

2. If pes9cides were sprayed on the leaves, which organism would be affected first?
_________________________________________________________
Caterpillar (1 mark)

3. How do pes9cides move through the food chain?


_________________________________________________________
Pesticides move through the food chain via consumption, with each successive (1 mark)
organism ingesting the pesticide from its prey or food source.

4. Which organism would accumulate the highest amount of pes9cide?


_________________________________________________________
Hawk (1 mark)

5. What is the term for the build-up of harmful substances in an organism?

2
_________________________________________________________
Bioaccumulation (1 mark)

6. Suggest one way to reduce pes9cide accumula9on in food chains:


_________________________________________________________ (1 mark)
Use natural pest control methods, such as introducing biological
predators, or option for organic farming practices that minimize
Sec$on D: Short Answers (4 marks)
pesticide use.

1. Explain why energy decreases at each level of a food chain:


_________________________________________________________
Energy decreases at each level of a food chain because organisms use energy for
life processes such as movement, growth, and reproduction. Additionally, energy is
_________________________________________________________
lost as heat during metabolic processes. (2 marks)

2. Give one example of how humans can disrupt food webs:


_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________ (2 marks)
Humans can disrupt food webs by overhunting or overfishing, which removes key species and affects the balance of the
ecosystem. Alternatively, habitat destruction due to deforestation or urbanization can also eliminate species and alter food webs.
