Ecology
Explore how living organisms interact with each other and their environment. These Ecology quizzes cover ecosystems, energy flow, nutrient cycles, populations, and biodiversity, with questions designed to build both core definitions and real-world reasoning.
Quizzes
Energy flow in food webs
Trace how energy moves through ecosystems, from producers to top predators and decomposers. This mixed-difficulty quiz checks your understanding of trophic levels, food chains vs. food webs, and why energy is lost at each transfer. Choose your preferred question count and difficulty, then learn from clear, multiple-choice practice.
Nutrient cycles: carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus
Track how carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus move through ecosystems—from atmosphere and oceans to soils, organisms, and back again. This mixed-difficulty quiz checks key processes, reservoirs, and human impacts, with questions that range from basics to exam-style scenarios.
Population growth: exponential and logistic
Test your understanding of population growth models in ecology, from rapid exponential increase to logistic growth with carrying capacity. Work through real-world scenarios and graphs to see how limiting factors change growth over time. Mixed difficulty makes it useful for both revision and self-checking.

What you’ll practice in Ecology
These quizzes help you review key ecology ideas such as ecosystems, food webs, trophic levels, population dynamics, and biogeochemical cycles.
You’ll also practice interpreting simple scenarios (like predator–prey changes or habitat loss) and connecting terms to real environmental outcomes.
How the quizzes work
Each question has 4 multiple-choice options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on accuracy and learning rather than speed.
Difficulty and length vary across the 3 quizzes, so you can start with fundamentals and then move to more applied, multi-step questions as you improve.
Useful ecology facts and context
Ecology links biology to climate, land use, and conservation: small shifts in temperature, nutrients, or species balance can cascade through entire ecosystems.
A classic example is a “keystone species,” where changes to one species can reshape community structure and biodiversity far beyond what its population size suggests.
Quick study checklist
- Know the difference between habitat, niche, population, community, and ecosystem
- Trace energy flow through food chains and food webs (and why energy is lost at each level)
- Recognize major nutrient cycles (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus) and what disrupts them
- Compare density-dependent vs. density-independent limiting factors
- Interpret basic population growth patterns and carrying capacity
