Question

It’s multiple-choice I just need the answers please

Answer 1

Answer:

2, 2, 1, 2, 4

Explanation:

Question 1. - Decomposers break apart dead organisms into simpler inorganic materials, making nutrients available to the plants/primary producers.

Question 2. - Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because the energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms are consumed by other ones from the next level.

Question 3. - Energy moves through an ecosystem in a single direction from the sun to autotrophs/producers, then from producers to heterotrophs/consumers. Never backward from consumers to producers.

Sun ⇒ Producers ⇒ Consumers ⇒ Decomposers

Question 4. - See Question 1.

Question 5. - Autotrophs don't need energy from other organisms. Instead, they use photosynthesis to get their food.

  - Note: Fungi cannot make their own food and therefore are not autotrophic. They do not have chloroplasts, instead, they are osmotrophic!
