An interconnected set of food chains
Food web
What are the two forms of metamorphosis
Incomplete and Complete Metamorphosis
The process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugar and release oxygen
Photosynthesis
An organism that uses sunlight to make its own food for energy
A Producer
An organism that gets energy from eating plants or animals
Consumer
The particular way a living thing grows reproduces, and dies
Life Cycle
The life cycle of a darkling beetle is shown here. Which stage represents the change from larva to adult? A, B, C, or D?
D
One way in which a plant life cycle is like an animal life cycle is that both plants and animals –
A) use seeds to reproduce
B) live for hundreds of years
C) lay eggs that hatch
D) grow larger over time
D) grow larger over time
A prairie food web is illustrated here. If all of the squirrels were removed from this food web, which animal population will most likely decrease first?
Hawks
An organism that gets energy by eating only other animals
Carnivore
All living and nonliving things and all their interactions in an area
Ecosystem
What is a nymph?
The nymph is a smaller version of the adult, but it does not have wings.
This diagram illustrates the life cycle of a tomato plant. Which stage in this plant life cycle is the adult? A, B, C, or D
C
Four organisms are illustrated here. Which organism can make its own food?
Daisy
An organism that gets energy by eating only plants
Herbivore
What is a sprout or seedling?
Offspring of the adult plant
Which of the following organisms goes through metamorphosis, including the stages of egg, larva, pupa, and adult?
A)Grasshoppers
B) Crickets
C) Beetles
Beetles
The lima bean plant that can produce the most offspring is the plant that produces the most -
A) Leaves
B) Stems

Seeds
A pond food chain is illustrated here. In this food chain, the large fish gets its energy by
C) preying on small fish
An organism that gets energy by eating both plants and other animals
Omnivore
Growth, improvement, or innovation
Development
How is the life cycle of a beetle similar to the life cycle of a frog? Both life cycles–
begin with eggs.
Plants have flowers so they can reproduce. Therefore, when a plant has flowers, we know that the plant -
has reached the adult stage
A pond food web is illustrated here. If a pesticide killed all the insect larvae in this food web, all of the following would immediately result EXCEPT –
A) bass would have more minnows to eat
B) snails would have more algae available
C) sunfish would be forced to eat more snails
D) minnows would lose a source of energy
bass would have more minnows to eat
An elephant gets the energy it needs to survive when it –
Eats grass and leaves
