Example ecosystem and food web quiz questions

In a food web, which organisms are producers?Plants and algae that make their own food through photosynthesis. They form the base of the food web because every other organism depends on them.

True or false: energy cycles through an ecosystem the same way matter does.False. Matter is recycled by decomposers, but energy flows one way and is lost as heat at each trophic level.

Why do food chains rarely have more than four or five trophic levels?About 10 percent of energy passes from one level to the next, so too little remains to support many higher predators.

What happens to a secondary consumer if its main prey population drops sharply?Its population usually drops too, because it loses its main food source. Some predators can switch to alternative prey, which lessens the effect.

What role do decomposers play in a food web?Bacteria and fungi break down dead organisms and waste, returning nutrients to the soil so producers can use them again.

Frequently asked questions

Is there really a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.

How many quiz questions should I make for a food web unit?

Start with 10 to 15 questions covering producers, consumers, decomposers and energy flow, then add more where you miss answers. Questions about how energy moves through a food web tend to be more useful than ones that only name organisms.

How can I tell if a question tests understanding of ecosystems?

Good questions ask what happens when one part of a food web changes, such as a predator being removed. If you can answer by recalling a single definition, the question is testing memory rather than understanding.

Which export formats need a paid plan?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV exports are on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on Pro at $14.99 per month.
