Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.25 Diagram Food Chains and Food Webs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which statement best describes how to build a correct food web model for a habitat?
APut arrows in both directions between any two organisms that interact.
BUse only one chain even if organisms eat more than one kind of food.
CStart with top predators, point arrows toward what is eaten, and leave out producers.
DInclude the Sun and producers, connect food sources to the organisms that get the energy, and show several linked feeding paths when they exist.
Solution & Explanation:A correct food web starts with energy from the environment, includes producers and consumers, and uses arrows to show how energy moves through connected chains.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Use the savanna food web. If both insect populations decline, which organism would receive less energy through two different paths?
Agrass
Bacacia tree
Chawk
Dmushroom
Solution & Explanation:The hawk can lose energy from the lizard path and from the bird path if both insect groups decline.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A grassland should show grass feeding rabbit and mouse, grasshopper feeding frog, and both rabbit and frog feeding hawk. Which option is the most accurate model?
Ahawk -> rabbit; hawk -> frog; grass -> hawk
Bgrass -> rabbit; grass -> mouse; grasshopper -> frog; rabbit -> hawk; frog -> hawk
Crabbit -> grass; mouse -> grass; frog -> grasshopper; hawk -> rabbit; hawk -> frog
Dgrass -> rabbit; grasshopper -> mouse; mouse -> hawk
Solution & Explanation:The correct choice is the only option that keeps every described feeding relationship and arrow direction correct.
