How might extinction of one species throw an ecosystem into turmoil?

An extinction of one species could destroy an ecosystem if an animal depended on the extinct animal for food. Then that animal would die off, which could affect even more animals.

What might happen if the population of one plant species in an ecosystem declines?
lo
How do invasive species harm the environments?
Invasive species cause harm to the environment, because their like unknown organisms that exist, and replace original species. I might be able to change the environment/ecosystem.
What might happen if one organism disappears from a ecosystem?
if it leaves an environmental niche, then another, already existing, species might take that niche; or a new one might evolve to fill it.
How might an earthquake affect an ecosystem?
it can affect an ecosystem by killing it or burning it
Explain why wetlands generally have a high level of biodiversity?
Each organism in an ecosystem relies on many other organisms in order to survive. If even one species disappears, many other species are harmed by that disappearance. If you lose several or many species, then you might lose even more species, simply because those species can't survive without the ones that died out. Then even more species suffer and may disappear, and if enough very important species die out, the whole ecosystem can collapse.
Why is saving species from extinction a good thing?
Yes, if you are going to save a species then they might as well be saved from extinction.
In the story there will come soft rains what might the story be saying about where you as a species are headed?
EXTINCTION

What do you think might happen in an ecosystem if it lost all of its plants species?
It would soon loose all its animal species too.
Is a snail a native species or an invasive species?
an invasive specie is an animal that is dangerous to an ecosystem. so a snail might be an invasive specie to one ecosystem, but to another, they may be part of the ecosystem. No that is completely wrong a invasive species is a species that came to one place from another place and it doesn't belong Dont listen to that idiot it isn't an invasive species it's from North America and so no it is not. Now theres a real answer.
How might enviromental factors might cause extinction?
Well, environmental factors like climate change can cause a species to die out because they were not able to adapt to their environment.
How do invasive species harm the environments?
Invasive species cause harm to the environment, because their like unknown organisms that exist, and replace original species. I might be able to change the environment/ecosystem.
How might the mass extinction at the end of the mesozoic era relate to the dominance of mammals in the Cenozoic era?
mass extinction: When at least 50 % of the species on Earth go extinct within a relatively short amount of time.
What might happen if one organism disappears from a ecosystem?
if it leaves an environmental niche, then another, already existing, species might take that niche; or a new one might evolve to fill it.
Is it diffucult to find many similar orgamisms in an ecosysytem?
Partially,because in an ecosystem,animals of similar species. While in another, animals of far different species might be present.
If a species is lost in an ecosystem which will be most affected a food chain or a food web?
Yea im pretty sure but i might be wrong
How can an exotic species threaten an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
