The amount of food determines the population of a species. Less food equals fewer members of the species, and more food means a greater population of a species can be supported.

Adaptation that help organism get food?
If an organism's food source is limited somehow, it can adapt to eat other types of food in order to survive. That way members of the same species do not have to rely on a limited amount of food. The larger the variety of food an organism can take in, the less likely it is that the organism will run out of options. Another way a species can adapt to reduce its competition for food is by altering mating and reproduction habits. By reproducing less, the organisms can maintain a population that can be sustained by the amount of food available, thus allowing that population to retain better health overall.
How does overexploitation effect biodiversity?
It threatens the amount of fish and the kinds of fish available. Also it threats the food supply of millions who depend for most, if not all of their, food through fish.

Does quaternary consumer species have a smaller population than a secondary consumer species?
In general, quaternary consumer species have smaller populations compared to secondary consumer species. This is because as you move up the food chain, the energy and biomass available decrease. As a result, there is less food and resources available to support a larger population of quaternary consumers. Quaternary consumer species typically have fewer individuals as they are higher up in the trophic levels and have a more limited food supply.
True or false The loss of a species from an ecosystem usually has no effect because of the presence of other species in the ecosystem?
Loss of one species from a community has a large effect. This is because this can cause major changes in food webs and chains and can cause other organisms to die.
