Note from the author:
You are able to attempt this up to four times - all of your correct answers will be saved.
  • Each video is approximately 5-7 minutes in length.
  • You need to watch and listen to each video very carefully and answer each question based on each video.
  • The video will pause to permit you to answer the questions to the right of each video.
  • You cannot scroll the video ahead, but you may scroll it backward.
  • When you are complete, submit your questions; then you can see your score. If you score below a 70% (17/25 or less), you should reattempt this.
Closed Captioning (unfortunately, it's not available for all videos; the video author would have had to added it before I embedded it here):
1. Click "play"

2. After the video starts, the "CC" button in the lower-right will be available - click on it.

3. If closed captioning is available for the video (it's not available for the first one, but it is for the 2nd one), it will allow you to select the language you want to see (obviously, choose English).

photosynthesis
the sun
cell respiration
oxidative phosphorylation
What direction does the arrow point?
to the organism that is losing energy
There is NO specific direction, whoever makes it decides
Always points in the direction of energy flow, the organism that will eat.
Always points to the organism that is getting eaten.

If the snake population decreases in size, what happens to the other organisms?
no change
Everything would increase
frogs increase

Why are food webs better than food chains?
Because there are more spiders involved
Because chains are heavier than webs

decomposers
scavengers
producers
As the energy flows up the food chain, some of it is ____ along the way.
destroyed
lost as heat
created
just hot gas
Gross primary productivity (GPP) is ____.
something nasty
the overall amount of energy that gets converted
the same as gross domestic product
what the plant uses after respiration
True or False or Otherwise - Plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
True
False
Otherwise

1%
90%
All of it
50%
10%

Tropical Rain Forest
Desert
The kitchen window full of house plants
Deciduous Forest
Taiga Forest

10%
90%
100%
99%
1%
What is ecological efficiency?
The amount of biomass lost when transferred from one trophic level to the next.
The amount of biomass transferred from one trophic level to the next
The amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next
The amount of energy lost when transferred from one trophic level to the next.
In biology we called Ecological Efficiency
The Rule of Nine's
The Rule of Thumbs
Trophic levels
Movement of Energy
The 10% Rule
How is the biomass pyramid related to the trophic level pyramid?
The amount of biomass and the amount of energy is typically the same at each trophic level.
The biomass pyramid shows the amount of biomass at each level, which corresponds with the amount of energy at each level
They are two completely separate things.  Biomass is not related to energy.
They are not related at all.
