an ecosystem can only support a certain amount of animals at one time because; 1.some animals may be going to go extinct. 2. if animals eat all the food there wont be any other food left for any other animals to eat and those animals may die. 3. some organisms may be consumers and eat/ hurt the other animals in the ecosystem/ area around them.

How is an ecosystem maintained in nature and how it survives?
An ecosystem is maintained and survives by remaining in balance. A balance of predators and prey, a balance of resources and users who use those resources, and a balance of animal and plant populations.
The removal of nearly all the predators from an ecosystem would most likely result in?
An increase in the number of herbivores.
How do ecosystems survive in nature?
An ecosystem is maintained by keeping a balance, such as a balance between the number of resources and the number of the users. Or the balance between predators and prey. Also, it helps by humans not destroying the habitat.
How does the presence of predators help keep an ecosystem stable?
The predators keep prey populations balanced.
What statement best describes bat populations in a stable ecosystem?
They are not limited by natural predators
Biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem?
The number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem.
Does the number of squirrels an ecosystem can support depend on how many predators eat them?
No. The number of a species supported by and ecosystem depends on how much food is available in the ecosystem. If the population (squirrels) exceeds the food supply then some of the population will die. Predators are a factor in controlling population size.
What keeps the number of plants and animals in an ecosystem at a steady level?
The predators and prey.
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
The number of trophic levels that can be maintained in an ecosystem is limited by?
The Lost of potential energy.

How are ecosystems maintained?
An ecosystem is maintained by keeping a balance between the number of resources and the number of the users. Also, it is maintained by the balance between predators and prey.
