What would happen to secondary consumers and producers if primary consumers were removed from an ecosystem?

If a primary consumer was removed from an ecosystem the secondary consumer would more than likely adapt to survive. History has shown us that some species are better than others at adapting and the more versatile a species is, the longer they survive. Now more species than ever are in danger because of their natural habitat being destroyed, but on the positive side there are many more convenience stores open now which will give them a fighting chance.

Which type of organis producers primary consumers or secondary consumers would have the largest population Explain your choice?
Secondary consumers has the largest population because certain products have to go through various chains for them to reach certain people.
Is pinnularia procedure or consumer?
Pinnularia are known to be primary producers. They are found in the aquatic environment and are eaten by the primary consumers.
How is secondary sector dependent on primary sector?
Primary>Secondary relies on secondary to buy the output so it can be processed into finished goods Secondary>Primary relies on primary to extract raw materials for them to process Secondary>Tertiary relies on tertiary to distribute their finished goods to consumers/customers Tertiary>Secondary relies on secondary to supply finished goods for them to sell Primary>Tertiary relies on tertiary to distribute and market their goods to both secondary and consumers Tertiary>Primary relies on primary to use their services and thus provide a source of revenue
Interdependence in nature is illustrated by?
Interdependence in nature is illustrated by ecosystems. Living organisms rarely exist alone as illustrated by an ecosystem, in which everything is interconnected. The sun provides the light energy, which primary producers (plants, algae, and photosynthetic prokaryotes) use to synthesize sugars and other organic compounds. These sugars and organic compounds are then used as building material for growth and as fuel for cellular respiration. The organisms in the next trophic levels indirectly or directly depend on this photosynthetic output of the primary producers as this chemical energy is then consumed by primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and tertiary consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores). Many of these nutrient transfers through the trophic level lead to detritus, non living organic material, which provides energy for the detritivores (prokaryotes and fungi) who help to decompose this organic material in an ecosystem. The chemical elements are then transferred in inorganic forms to abiotic reservoirs such as soil, water, and air, which the primary producers recycle into organic compounds. These living organisms are so interconnected that there would be serious consequences for the ecosystem and the living organisms in it if even one trophic level were to be destroyed.
What are the primary secondary and tertiary sector of sugar?
The primary sector for sugar is growing the sugarcane. The secondary sector would be transforming the sugarcane into sugar crystals. The tertiary sector would be selling the sugar to consumers.
How are producers related to primary consumers in ecosystem?
Answer this question… Primary consumers eat secondary consumers, which rely on producers for food.
The four elements of an ecosystem are?
Producers, Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers
What do you consume if your a secondary consumer?
It depends on the ecosystem, but a general statement could be: secondary consumers consume the primary consumers, who consume the primary producers. If the secondary consumers are omnivores, they can also be a part of the second (primary consumer) and third (secondary consumer) trophic levels.
In a specific ecosystem the population with the greatest number of members will be which one carnivores secondary consumers primary consumers or producers?
In this situation, the population with the greatest number will be the producers.
Are primary consumers or secondary consumers the largest part of the ecosystem?
The largest parts of an ecosystem is the primary consumers. The ecosystem could hold more of a body size of primary consumers as opposed to secondary consumers.
Is a dog a secondary consumer?
A cat is not a primary consumer since it does not feed on plants which are producers. A cat is classified as a secondary consumer feeds on primary consumers.
How do producers affect an ecosystem?
again, i don't know. THATS WHY IM ASKING #imma_boss
What do consumers eat secondary consumers?
Secondary Consumers eat other primary consumers. Primary consumers eat plants or producers.
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers in the tropical rain forest?
primary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the producers secondary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the primary consumers tertiary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the secondary consumers
What determines how many producers can exist?
The food chain. The primary consumer eats the producer, and the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. Well, If there is a large amount of secondary consumers, then that means that they'll eat all of the primary consumers. With very little primary consumers, then that means that more producers exist. It all depends on the ecosystem, and the food chain or food web within that ecosystem. I hope this helped!
Do primary consumers depend on secondary consumers?
no they depend on producers.
Are rattlesnakes primary consumers?
No. They are secondary consumers. They eat animals (primary consumers) who eat plants (producers). So, they are not primary consumers.
