SCIENCE Chapter 8 Part 1

The document discusses ecology and interactions within an environment. It contains multiple choice questions about producers, consumers, decomposers, food chains, and energy transfer between trophic levels. Producers like plants are at the bottom of the energy pyramid and have the most available energy. Energy is transferred between trophic levels as herbivores consume plants and carnivores consume herbivores or other carnivores. Decomposers break down remains and return nutrients to the soil.
