Why is biodiversity so important to healthy ecosystems'?

Why do dominant species have to be primary producers?
Primary producers are dominant because they are the ones who make their own food so they supply food to herbivores which are eaten by the carnivore. So they form a food chain
What are herbivores which eat producers?
Herbivores eat plants, and plants are producers. So, all herbivores eat producers.
Why are algae producers?
Yes, algae are producers... they are "the primary producers of the food chain Yes - algae are photosynthetic organisms this means they produce their own food using sunlight so they are producers.
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
Do ecosystems always contain producers?
yes because if the producers are not there in the environment then the whole chain will get disturb so some herbivores and omnivores will not get food also.so,then how carnivores can live so that's why importance of producers are very important in our ecosystem
What are some primary producers?
Primary producers are plants that photosynthesize. So any plant you can name is a primary producer eg wheat, corn, grass, vegetables, trees, etc

Why are 2nd consumers in a food chain so important?
If not primary consumers would eat up all the producers and the eco system would be finished
What might happen if the producers suddenly disappeared?
if it is a primary consumer all the other consumers will die and the producers population will grow.but if it is the last consumer the animal that it eats population may increase. if it is a primary consumer all the other consumers will die and the producers population will grow.but if it is the last consumer the animal that it eats population may increase.

Is chemosynthetic bacteria a primary producer?
All chemeosynthetic organisms ar primary producers
Why are insects bugs and plants weeds so important in ecosystems.?
Because they are beautiful!
How are reptiles important to their ecosystems?
because they are needed to most insects so they do not get out of controll.
Why are sharks so important to marine ecosystems?
Probably because of the food chain?
Are rattlesnakes primary consumers?
No. They are secondary consumers. They eat animals (primary consumers) who eat plants (producers). So, they are not primary consumers.
