What would happen to a food chain if the population of one of the organisms increased?

Think of the game Jenga. The smaller the organism, the more it will effect the food chain. So it really depends on the organism.


How would this impact two populations?

Gene flow would increase between the two halves, and speciation would not occur


Why is it important that numbers of animals and plants in an ecosystem remain stable make up an example to show your point?

It is important that the population size of animals and plants to remain stable so the food chain runs fluidly. If you had a major increase or decrease of a species then that would cause drastic change to the environment. For example: given the food chain of grass, a grasshopper, a frog, a snake and a hawk if the grass population went under then the grasshopper, frog, snake and hawks population would drop because the grasshopper would eat the grass and without grass than the population would decrease along with the other. But if the frog population decreased then the grasshopper population would increase from the lack of frogs but the grass would decrease from the overpopulating grasshoppers while the snakes would decrease with the hawks. After a while though, despite the drastic over- or underpopulation, the environment would find a way to get itself stable once more.


Why must there be variation in a population in order for natural selection to occur?

What would there be to select from if all the organisms in a population were not different in morphology and behavior. Some of these differences are reproductively successful against the immediate environment, and that environment is the natural selector.


What would happen to a food chain if there was a disease?

Somewhere, the chain shall be halted.(related to that disease).

Snakes are part of the food chain. The rat population would grow without them, then more sells would occur for rat poisons. Look at the food chain aspect.

What would happen if the food chain isen't balanced?

in the food chain is unbalanced then the animal's population or plant's population numbers would decrease. Then either die off of extinction or the numbers would increase once again.


What happens when you take out something out of the food chain?

the smaller population on the food chain would increase and the big predators would decrease in population. it could probably go instinct or become very rare in that area.

How do you change 2000 Chrysler concord timing chain?

easy answer would be to fallow the haynes book. step by step. 1 drain the radiator. 2 remove the cover on the radiator. 3 remove the radiator. 4remove the intake manifold. 5 remove the belts. 6 remove the hermonic balancer. 7 remove the ideler pulley next to the PS pump. 8 remove the timing chain cover. 9 remove the valve cover. 10 remove the timing chain tenchener. 11 then you should be able to remove the chain. then put the engine back together.


This food chain can be found in the coastal waters of Virginia The population of which organisms in the food chain would be the first to decline if commercial fishing over-harvested shrimp?

Damselfish is the food chain that can be found in the coastal waters of Virginia. The population of which organisms in the food chain would be the first to decline if commercial fishing over harvested shrimp.


What would be the immediate effect on a population of insect-feeding birds if pesticide is sprayed in their ecosystem?

As most ecosystems are closed loop reactions, impact in one arena will cause a domino effect to occur. Ingestion of toxic insect, causes the birds to pass the toxins on to those higher up in the food chain.


Which one of these would probably occur from under coverage?

Results not reflecting the population (APEX)


What do you think would happen if one important population of animals or plants vanished from the ecosystem?

it would effect the food chain


Why would natural selection not occur in this population?

The population has not yet reached the carrying capacity.-apex :D


What effect would a drop in the size of the of the krill population have on the Antarctic food web and why?

Euphasia superba, Antarctic krill, are the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica.Any decline in their population would mean that the remainder of the food chain would be forced into warmer water to find food.
