Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.30 Interpret Energy Flow Diagrams and Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the planned school-garden model and chart. Which statement best explains the evidence?
AFoxes create the most energy in the garden.
BDecomposers send energy back to the Sun.
CMost energy is at the producer level, and the animals' food energy can be traced back to sunlight.
DRabbits get their energy from the fox.
Solution & Explanation:The producer bar is the largest, and the arrows show energy starting with sunlight and moving through the garden organisms.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Two diagrams are shown: Sun -> corn -> chicken -> person and Sun -> lettuce -> person. Which meal gives the person energy through fewer transfers?
Aneither meal is connected to sunlight
Bthe chicken meal, because animals have more energy
Cthe lettuce meal, because there are fewer steps
Dboth meals have the same number of steps
Solution & Explanation:The lettuce path has fewer steps from the Sun to the person than the chicken path does.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A student says, "Because a hair dryer makes sound, sound must be the main output." A chart shows heat 7, motion 4, and sound 1. Which response is strongest?
ACharts cannot compare outputs.
BSound is not the main output because its bar is the smallest.
CSound and heat always stay equal.
DThe student is right because every machine is mainly sound.
Solution & Explanation:The smallest bar is sound, so the chart shows sound is a minor output, not the main one.
