Compare Ecosystem Interactions Practice Test

Two ecosystem models are shown.

Ecosystem A (Lake): tiny floating plants are eaten by zooplankton; small fish eat zooplankton; large fish eat small fish.

Ecosystem B (Field): seeds are eaten by mice; snakes eat mice; owls eat snakes.

Interaction patterns can be compared across ecosystems. Which statement compares the ecosystems correctly using evidence (not just labels)?

Two ecosystem models are shown.

Ecosystem A (Garden): bees collect nectar from flowers and carry pollen; a bird eats caterpillars on the same plants.

Ecosystem B (Forest clearing): a bat eats moths; moths drink nectar from flowers and touch pollen.

Interaction patterns can be compared across ecosystems. Which comparison of interactions is supported by evidence from both ecosystem models?
