Example Question #11 : Understand Trophic Levels And Flow Of Energy
An animal that eats plants and seeds is a __________.
herbivore
autotroph
carnivore
producer
herbivore
Herbivores are plant-eating organisms. They are classified in the primary consumer trophic level. An easy way to remember this is to break down the word. Herbs are types of plants, so when we see “herb” in herbivore think of plants. Carnivores eat other animals. Autotrophs and producers need not eat anything to get energy, rather, they make their own.
Example Question #12 : Ecology
The latin name (binomial nomenclature) of organisms consists of which two classifications?
Class and order
Genus and species
Phylum and species
Order and family
Genus and species
The latin name consists of the genus and species of the organism. These are the most specific of the taxonomic classifications. The taxonomic classifications are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Example Question #13 : Ecology
Which of the following classification of animal eats both plants and meat?
Carnivore
Herbivore
Detrivore
Omnivore
Omnivore
Omnivores eat plants and meats. Carnivores eat meat only. Herbivores eat plants only. Detrivores eat dead organisms.
Example Question #12 : Understand Trophic Levels And Flow Of Energy
Which of the following is the correct order for an ecosystem, from smallest to largest?
Community, individual, population, and ecosystem
Ecosystem, individual, community, and population
Population, individual, community, and ecosystem
Individual, population, community, and ecosystem
Individual, population, community, and ecosystem
This question requires careful reading of the correct order of an ecosystem on earth. The correct order, from smallest to largest, for an ecosystem is “individual, population, community, ecosystem.” Individual organisms make up populations, which interact with other populations in communities, which in turn belong to ecosystems that have a particular environment, such as desert or rainforest.
