What may happen to the other organisms in a food web if a species goes extinct?

If an animal were to be removed from a food chain, the entire ecosystem could easily fall apart or futhermore be destroyed. Say that a herbivore such as a mouse that feeds on grass was too be removed. And that the mouse would be eaten by a snake..the snake population would decrease from starvation and the grass would increase.

Why it is important for an animal to have more than one source of food?
because a food source can become extinct and if the other organisms only food source becomes extinct the species would starve and become extinct and other species will become extinct as well.
What may happen if a species goes extinct?
play with them when they are not doing any thing and i don't like them doe and they are very brotective
What would happen if the Indus river dolphin were to become extinct?
The prey species of the river dolphin, such as fish and shrimps, would suddenly boom and dominate the ecosystem as there would be no predator keeping their populations in check. Whatever those prey species feed on would suddenly decrease as there would be more organisms feeding of it. When one species becomes extinct, it can cause other species to also become extinct. However hopefully the ecosystem returns to an equilibrium eventually. Hope this helps!
Two species have the same niche. What is the most likely outcome when one species is the superior competitor?
The other species will become extinct
How are extinct organisms related to other extinct organisms as well as living organisms?
By the way they look, (their bone structure, body weight) and DNA too.
What would happen if Siamese cats weren't around anymore?
It would be an extinct species of cats, while other breeds thrive?
What would happen to us if there were no children?
The human species would go extinct and all other life on Earth would flourish.
Why are higher levels of biodiversity good for ecosystem stability?
The higher the biodiversity, the higher the number of species, and the lower the rate of extinction. A decrease in biodiversity means a single species will become extinct and this will have a negative impact on other organisms for all organisms in an ecosystem are connected.
How are organisms in a species different from others in their genue?
Organisms in a species have characteristics that differ from those of other organisms in their genus.
How are organisms in a species different from others in genus?
Organisms in a species have characteristics that differ from those of other organisms in their genus.
How does mass extinction affect surviving species?
Extreme radiation events of the organisms that survive the mass extinctions as they evolve to occupy the niches abandoned by the organisms going extinct.
What happen when organisms populate a new area and are isolated geographically from other populations of the same species?
The species will eventually evolve to be similar, but not exactly like the main species.
