1)In an ecosystem, there are various types of bats. One type of bats, A, is shown in photograph 1
below. Where a sample of its faeces was examined, pieces of legs and wings of a certain group
of animals were found as shown in photograph 2.
2a)To which group of vertebrates do bats belong?
2b)Referring to photograph 1, state one external ferture of bat A through which it is classified
into the group you stated in (1).
3)With reference to photograph 2, suggest the group of animals that bat A feeds on.
4)The faeces of another type of bats, B, are found to contain some seeds. Suggest an
explanation for the presence of intact seeds in the faeces of bat B.
5)A third type of bats, C, feeds on the blood of large animals. Assuming that bats B and C
have the same amount of daily food intake, compare the daily amount of faeces they produce.
Explain your answer.
6)Having different types of bats is advantageous to the survival of bats in an ecosystem. Suggest
an explanation for this using the information about bats A, B and Cgiven above.
