What else can I help you with?
How does the presence of predators help keep the ecosystem stable?
Well predators keep the population of like deer from eating all the plants
What happens to predator population when the prey population is eliminated?
The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.
Do you need sharks?
Yes. Sharks are predators and, like all non-invasive predators, help to maintain a healthy population of prey animals. Remove the sharks and the populations of the creatures they eat will sky-rocket. If that happens, then the ecosystem will fall apart as over-population diminishes space and resources.
How does the presence of predators help keep an ecosystem stable?
The predators keep prey populations balanced.
What is it the shows how the food chains are connected in an ecosystem?
At the base plants, at the top the apex predators and all down one side the decomposers.
What is the limited number of predators in an ecosystem?
an ecosystem can only support a certain amount of animals at one time because; 1.some animals may be going to go extinct. 2. if animals eat all the food there wont be any other food left for any other animals to eat and those animals may die. 3. some organisms may be consumers and eat/ hurt the other animals in the ecosystem/ area around them.
The removal of nearly all the predators from an ecosystem would most likely result in?
The removal of predators from an ecosystem would likely result in an increase in prey species, leading to overpopulation and competition for resources. This imbalance could cause disruption in the food chain and the ecosystem's overall health, potentially leading to changes in vegetation and other ecological impacts.
What tropical rainforest animals eat plants and meat?
In a stable ecosystem (like a rain forest), there will usually be fewer predators/meat eaters than prey/plant eaters, because the higher up you are on the food chain, the fewer of you there will be; If there were fewer prey animals than predators, they would all be eaten quickly, and the predators would starve and the ecosystem would break down. But if there are more prey animals than predators, the prey animals will live long enough to reproduce and keep the population stable, the predators will still have food and the ecosystem will stabilize.
Can penguins get seprated from there family?
Unfourtunatly, it happens all the time because of predators and other dangers.
What factors affect the populations in an?
One factor that can affect the populations in an ecosystem is that, if an ecosystem had owls with no predators, the owl population would increase and eat all the mice in the ecosystems. The population of the mice would decrease more and more.
What do you think might happen in an ecosystem if it lost all of its plants species?
If an ecosystem lost all its plant species, it would disrupt the food chain as plants are primary producers. This would lead to a cascade effect, impacting herbivores, predators, and ultimately the entire ecosystem. Nutrient cycles would also be disrupted, affecting soil health and ecosystem stability.
Secondary productivity in an ecosystem?
Primary productivity tells you how productive an ecosystem will be. It is the rate at which chemical energy is produced from sunlight, which determines the maximum amount of energy available to all higher trophic levels in an ecosystem.
