B. Exocytosis
C. Endocytosis
D. Phagocytosis

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #3
The pyramid of energy in an ecosystem is always:
A. Variable
B. Upright
C. Spindle-shaped
D. Inverted

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy at successive trophic levels. Energy decreases as it moves up (about 10% transfer), so the pyramid is always upright. Pyramids of number and biomass may be inverted in some ecosystems (e.g., parasitic food chains, pond ecosystem), but the energy pyramid never is, according to the second law of thermodynamics.
