ANSWER KEY

1. The ability to make things happen or do work is known as ENERGY.

2. There are two main types of energy: energy that is stored, POTENTIAL ENERGY and energy of motion is KINETIC ENERGY.

3. Energy is conserved which means energy is not CREATED or DESTROYED it is only TRANSFERRED.

4. Question # 3 explain the Law of CONSERVATION OF ENERGY.

5. Name that Energy: a. GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL

ENERGYb. MECHANICAL ENERGYc. THERMAL (HEAT) ENERGYd. CHEMICALe. NUCLEARf. ELECTROMAGNETICg. ELECTRICAL

6. Kinetic Energy depends on two things MASS and VELOCITY.

7. The formula E = mc2 means that MATTER CAN BE CHANGED INTO ENERGY AND VISA-VERSA.

8. The formula in question #7 was developed by ALBERT EINSTEIN.

9. When waste heat is released in to the environment it is known as THERMAL POLLUTION.

10.Work is defined as the FORCE needed to MOVE an object.

11. The unit of work is a JOULE (J).12. The rate at which work is done

is called POWER. 13.The unit of used to describe #12

is WATT (W). 14.Work is made easier by using

MACHINES.

15.Name the

a.

b.

c.

d.

e.

f.g.

Gear

16. The source of all energy in an ecosystem is the THE SUN. The source of all food is PRODUCERS.

17. True or False - All consumers directly or indirectly eat plants.

18. An energy role explains how an organisms GETS ITS ENERGY (FOOD) AND INTERACTS.

19. Explain the difference between producers, MAKE OWN FOOD, PHOTOSYTHESISconsumers, EAT PRODUCERS DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLYdecomposers, BREAK DOWN WASTE AND RETURN

NUTRIENTS TO ECOSYSTEM20. Name that consumer:

a. Only eats Meat: CARNIVOREb. Only eats Producers: HERBIVOREc. Eats both plants and animals: OMNIVOREd. Eat dead materials : SCAVENGER

21.List the 2 important jobs of decomposers: BREAK DOWN WASTES and RETURN NUTRIENTS TO THE SOIL.

22. A food chain shows how ENERGY is passed through an ecosystem. A food web shows OVERLAPPING FOOD CHAINS.

23.As energy moves through an ecosystem it follows ONE direction.

24. Look at the food chain below, name the energy roles of each of the biotic organisms (1-5). 25. Create an energy pyramid from the information below, label all parts of the energy pyramid!

26. In what order is food and energy passed through an ecosystem? SUN PRODUCER CONSUMER DECOMPOSER27. A food chain must always begin with a PRODUCER because these organisms HAVE THE MOST ENERGY AND MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD. 28. Usually DECOMPOSERS are left out of food chains.29. Which is more accurate and realistic

description of food and energy flow in an ecosystem – a food chain or a food web?

30. Look at the food chain below … which organism is a primary consumer?
