| 10.2 Based on figure 10.2 and the idea of an ecological pyramid, wouls you expect more owls or more mice in the ecosystem that is illustrated there? | More mice |
| 10.3 Based on the ecological pyramid in figure 10.3, between which 3 throphic levels is the greatest amount of energy lost? | the largest amount of energy is wasted bewtween the producers and the primary consumers |
| 10.4 Although macroevolution can never hope to explain most examples of mutualism in creation, it can eplain some. Which of the 3 examples of mutualism that you read about in this section would be easiest in terms of macroevolution? See next box | |
