A Ecology is the branch of biology that studies the interactions between environment and the living creatures that inhabit it. Know the basic concepts that involve these ecological relations is fundamental to studying ecology.
We prepared a list of exercises on basic concepts in ecology so that you can test your knowledge on this topic.

1) (PUC – Campinas) A large area of vegetation was devastated and this fact caused the emigration of several species of primary consumers to a neighboring community in equilibrium. It is expected that, in this community, at first:
a) increase the number of secondary consumers and decrease competition among herbivores.
b) increase the number of producers and decrease competition among carnivores.
2) (UFPE) When saying where a species can be found and what it does in the place where it lives, we are informing respectively:
a) ecological niche and habitat.
b) habitat and ecological niche.
c) habitat and biotope.
d) ecological niche and ecosystem.
e) habitat and ecosystem.
3) (FACIG) Analyze the following alternatives.
i. Body
II. Systems
III. molecules
IV. atoms
v. fabrics
SAW. Bodies
VII. cells
The alternative that correctly indicates the logical sequence of the levels of organization of living beings is:
a) III, IV, VI, VII, V, I, II.
b) IV, III, VII, V, VI, II, I.
c) III, IV, VII, VI, V, I, II.
d) VII, III, IV, V, I, II, VI.
4) (FUVEST) The shitake mushroom is grown on logs, where its hyphae are nourished by the organic molecules that make up the wood. A person, when eating shitake mushroom, is behaving like:
a) producer.
b) primary consumer.
c) secondary consumer.
d) tertiary consumer.
i) decomposer.
5) (UFLA) Suppose that an ants, grasshoppers, sparrows and field mice live in a land covered with grass. From this information, we can say that in this region are present:
a) six populations.
b) two communities.
c) five populations.
d) six communities.
e) two ecosystems.
6) (ENEM) “The smallest anteater in the world is solitary and has nocturnal habits, it spends the day resting, usually in a tangle of vines, with its body curved in such a way that it forms a ball. When active, it moves slowly and makes a sound similar to a whistle. With each gestation, it generates a single pup. The young are left in a tree at night and are nursed by their mother until they are old enough to forage for food. Adult females have large territories and a male's territory includes several females, which means he always has several suitors on hand to date!" Ciência Hoje das Crianças, year 19, n.174, Nov.2006-adapted.
This description of the anteater concerns its:
a) Habitat.
b) biotope.
c) trophic level.
d) ecological niche.
e) biotic potential.
7) Mark the alternative incorrect:
a) The set of all organisms in an ecosystem with the same type of nutrition constitutes a trophic or food level.
b) The set of forests, fields, deserts and other large ecosystems forms the biosphere: set of regions of the planet in conditions to sustain life permanently.
c) Ecosystems are functional units where biotic and abiotic components interact and are inseparably related.
d) Heterotrophs are, for the most part, organisms that produce their own food, thus depending on other living beings to stay alive.
e) Populations that inhabit the same area maintain various relationships among themselves and form a new level of organization called community, biocenosis, biota or biotic community.
8) (UFPA) Regarding the levels of organization of a living being, the alternative that contains the terms that adequately replace numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, being:
Cell → (1) → (2) → System → (3) → (4) → Community, is:
a) 1 – tissue, 2 – organ, 3 – body, 4 – species.
b) 1 – organ, 2 – tissue, 3 – organism, 4 – ecosystem.
c) 1 – tissue, 2 – organ, 3 – organism, 4 – population.
d) 1 – organelle, 2 – tissue, 3 – body, 4 – population.
e) 1 – organelle, 2 – organ, 3 – tissue, 4 – organ.
9) (UFTPR) Lagoa do Peixe, in Rio Grande do Sul, along its 40 km in length, harbors in its waters a large amount of plankton that feeds a rich diversity of fish and birds. The flora is mainly represented by species from sandy soils with a high salt content, such as the big macela, the marsh of the beach and the espartina. There are also many migratory birds that take advantage of their stay to regain weight and store energy. Flamingos, plovers, spoonbills, white sandpipers, sea geese and black-necked swans are easily observed flying in flocks or isolated.
The above text refers to:
a) a population.
b) a succession.
c) a biome.
d) an ecological niche.
e) a community.
10) Mark the alternative that contains the organisms essential to maintain an ecosystem:
a) carnivores and herbivores.
b) producers and herbivores.
c) producers and decomposers.
d) producers, herbivores and decomposers.
e) producers, carnivores and decomposers.
