Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.43 Create Accurate Food Web Diagrams skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which student reasoning best explains how to create an accurate food web diagram?

AI first identify producers, consumers, and decomposers, then draw arrows from each food source to the organism that uses it.

BI draw arrows from the biggest animals to the smallest animals, then label every animal a producer.

CI leave out decomposers because they are not alive.

DI draw arrows toward whatever organism looks most important.

Solution & Explanation:Accurate food-web models combine correct trophic roles with arrows that show energy flow from food source to eater or decomposer.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A freshwater web includes phytoplankton, snails, bluegill fish, herons, and decomposers. Snails eat phytoplankton, bluegill eat snails, herons eat bluegill, and decomposers break down dead snails and fish. Which model is accurate?

Aphytoplankton -> snails -> bluegill fish -> herons; dead snails and dead fish -> decomposers

Bherons -> bluegill -> snails -> phytoplankton; decomposers -> dead fish

Csnails -> phytoplankton; bluegill -> snails; herons -> bluegill

Dphytoplankton -> herons only; decomposers -> phytoplankton as an energy arrow

Solution & Explanation:The accurate model points arrows from each food source to the eater and from dead matter to decomposers.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

New evidence shows raccoons in a park eat berries, frogs, and turtle eggs. Which update makes the food-web model more accurate?

AAdd arrows berries -> raccoons, frogs -> raccoons, and turtle eggs -> raccoons.

BAdd arrows raccoons -> berries, raccoons -> frogs, and raccoons -> turtle eggs.

CRemove raccoons because omnivores cannot be in food webs.

DLabel raccoons as producers because they eat many foods.

Solution & Explanation:The new evidence gives three foods for raccoons, so arrows should point from each food to the raccoon.
