What happens in an ecosystem after a species dies?

some other species cant eat. all animals are part of the food chain, so 1 becomes extinct, there is soon problems for everyone else. often, other species die as well.


Why does extinction mess up the food chain?

Imagine a very short food chain Species A eats species B, and species B eats species C If species B becomes extinct, then species A loses a source of its food, and its survival may become threatened; and species C loses its predator and its population may grow to become a plague to its environment.


What happens if don't conserve animal?

If we don't conserve an animal the species number will drastically decrease and resulting in extinction of that particular species. If one species become extinct it could trigger off a chain reaction and many species will be threatened.


What will happen to the giant panda's food chain if it becomes extinct?

What is the average time that a species spends on earth before it becomes extinct?

It depends on which species is, humans have been here for a while, but so have many more, it just depends on how large of a population, and how messed up the food chain is


The death of one species in a food chain upsets the rest of the food chain mean?

Since each plant or animal in a food chain is dependent on the plant or animal below it for food if one of those in the chain goes away (becomes extinct) or just isn't available in enough quantity, the next one up the chain starves to death.


What would happen if one of the species in your chain became extinct?

If an animal in a ecosystem chain became extinct - the WHOLE ecosystem would collapse because, believe it or not, every single species counts. For example, if a bird species in a forest became extinct - everything that ate the bird would die without their "food" and everything that ate them would die and so on and so forth.


How bad is the food chain hurt when 1 species goes extinct?

It would totally either....ruin the whole chain... or help the chain because of it's being goneness!!


How does animal extinction affect nature?

Allot of the affects will depend on the animal that becomes extinct, and the ecosystem they inhabit. In an extreme case, if plankton was wiped out of the oceans, most whales would die out from lack of food. All the species that depend on plankton, such as Sea Turtles, coral beds, and the young creatures that rely on both to thrive would starve without this broad group to feed from. As the food chain collapsed, species further down the chain would suffer as prey became scarce, populations, and births would drop, increasing the decline. Species like the seal and shark would have to hunt further for prey, if it could be found at all causing strain and eventual die off. The cycle would go on and on. Most of the time, if an entire species becomes extinct, then all the animals depending on that animal will suffer the same fate. Now, if things happen the other way around, and the predator species becomes extinct first. For example, say Sharks die out, seals would overpopulate their habitat and consume all their prey causing the same type of collapse, but starting smaller, then snowballing as the affects multiplied through out the environment.


When an insect becomes extinct and hundreds of animals are relying on it why don't they die?

yes they will because if someone is dependent on something or someone and something happens to that thing then the whole chain of the people depending on it will vanish bacause it needs that to live


What is the importance of conservation undangered animal?

To preserve the species and retain biological diversity. If a species were to go extinct it could disrupt the food chain and local ecology.


How is hunting a waste of resources?

Hunting is a waste of resource because 1.The food chain gets disturbed 2.Many species gets disappeared As a result hunting effects the ecological balance and in the end the animals,birds becomes extinct
