100
Who is on the bottom of a food pyramid?

Producers

200

What three letters do all simple sugars end with?

-ose

200

What two things (apart from sunlight) do plants need to take in to make simple sugars?

Carbon dioxide and water

200

What do animals take in so that they can do oxidation?

Oxygen and simple sugars

200

Who is at the very end of a food chain? Nothing else eats them.

Apex predator

200

If the apex predator is 1 kg, how much do you need in the level below it for a balanced pyramid?

10 kg

300

How do plants store extra simple sugar?

Starch

300

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Oxygen and simple sugar

300

What do animals produce as a result of oxidation

Carbon dioxide, water and energy

300

Animals that eat only producers are called what? The answer is not herbavores.

first order consumers

300

Food pyramid levels show what about each population? Hint it is not the number of each living thing.

weight or mass or kilograms

400

How do animals store extra simple sugar?

Fats and oils

400

2) get thinner

3) Migrate

500

What is the chemical formula for a simple sugar?

C6H12O6

500

What is the name of the specific part of the plant that actually does the process of photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll (would also accept chloroplast since the chlorophyll is a chemical within the chloroplast)

500

Why might fish die in a pond at night?

The green plants do oxidation and use too much of the oxygen in the water.

500

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

Food webs are made up of multiple food chains. Complexity

500
