Which statement accurately describes energy transfer in trophic levels?
Which statement accurately describes energy transfer in trophic levels?
- Only 10% of energy transfers to the next trophic level. (correct)
- All energy is retained and used efficiently by higher levels.
- Energy increases as it goes up to each trophic level.

Why are apex predators typically fewer in numbers compared to other organisms in a food web?
Why are apex predators typically fewer in numbers compared to other organisms in a food web?
- They have a much higher metabolism than other organisms.
- They are at the top and face less predation.
- Energy is lost at each trophic level, making it scarce. (correct)
- They require more food than primary producers can supply.

Study Notes
Grade 4 Science Q2 Periodic Test
- Question 1: Human movement is facilitated by bones.
- Question 2: The skeletal system's crucial function is providing structural support and enabling upright posture.
- Question 3: The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body.
- Question 4: Muscles support the body and enable lifting heavy objects.
- Question 5: The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to muscles during physical activity.
- Question 6: The respiratory system's primary function is exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
- Question 7: Deep breathing after exercise is a direct result of the respiratory system regulating body temperature.
- Question 8: The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules, leading to feelings of fullness.
- Question 9: The stomach and intestines work together by digesting food and absorbing nutrients and water.
- Question 10: The heart pumps blood to the body, and the lungs filter blood returned to the heart.
- Question 11: Plant root systems anchor the plant in the soil.
- Question 12: Stems in a plant's shoot system transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
- Question 13: Leaves contribute to a plant's functions by capturing sunlight for photosynthesis.
- Question 14: Both root and shoot systems are essential for a plant because root systems absorb nutrients, and shoot systems carry out photosynthesis.
- Question 15: Well-developed root and shoot systems indicate a plant is thriving.
- Question 16: A habitat is the area where plants and animals reside and live ecologically.
- Question 17: Terrestrial habitats include forests, grasslands, and deserts.
- Question 18: Aquatic environments are home to animals with gills and fins.
- Question 19: Birds and insects primarily populate terrestrial and aerial habitats.
- Question 20: Wildlife habitats provide shelter and resources for survival.
- Question 21: Mangrove swamps are home to organisms including mussels, fish, corals, and certain insects.
- Question 22: Sea shores support creatures such as clams, crabs, and sea horses, but not birds.
- Question 23: Garden ecosystems can contain a range of plants and animals including trees, flowers, and rats.
- Question 24: Bees play an important role in garden ecosystems as pollinators.
- Question 25: Cutting down mangrove trees can result in habitat loss and impacts on local communities.
- Question 26: Metamorphosis describes an animal's physical development after birth or hatching.
- Question 27: Complete metamorphosis involves four stages, while incomplete metamorphosis has three.
- Question 28: A tadpole transforms into a froglet by losing gills and a tail.
- Question 29: Child development involves learning basic motor skills like walking and talking, as well as becoming increasingly independent.
- Question 30: Adolescence is a period of significant change with both physical and developmental changes.
- Question 31: Omnivores consume both plants and animals.
- Question 32: A lion is a carnivore.
- Question 33: Herbivores obtain food by consuming plants.
- Question 34: Omnivores have specific teeth for processing both plant and animal matter.
- Question 35: Omnivores contribute to ecosystem balance by regulating plant and animal populations.
- Question 36: A primary consumer is correctly referred to as a herbivore.
- Question 37: Bacteria are decomposers.
- Question 38: Decomposers break down dead organisms, returning nutrients to the environment.
- Question 39: Transferring energy throughout trophic levels is inefficient, but only around 10% of the energy is transferred to the next level.
- Question 40: Apex predators are fewer at the top of the food web because energy is lost as heat with each transfer between trophic levels.
