Great quiz! Pretty tough though, and I imagine this would be almost impossible for people outside of a biological/science background.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment :)

I am rather new to creating quizzes, so finding the right level of difficulty is something that I am still working out

I am thinking about making a sequel to this quiz, and will try and better tailor the difficulty

Very fun! I love a hard quiz.

One nit to pick: in the "T" answer, "It relates" indicates that you're asking for a noun, since "it" is a pronoun. The answer you chose is an adjective. I'm not sure if "trophism" is a word, but I tried it and gave up. Anyone whose done many crosswords would not guess "trophic" for that clue.
