Questions 1 to 5 are worth 5 marks each. Questions 6 to 12 are worth 3 marks each. Don't try to dream up just 5 or just 3 points - sometimes all 5 points may only be for simply stating the single fact or relationship.

- Draw a typical (food) pyramid of energy. Include the relative amounts of energy.
- A temperate deciduous forest produces 1.20 kg biomass per m2 per year. How many kg of biomass could London region produce in one month? (London region = 40 000 m by 40 000 km). How many kJ of energy would that be "equal" to?
