Predation. The increased snake population requires an increased amount of food. The frog population could act as the food source for the increasing snake population thus reducing the frog population.

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 living things on earth are interdependent on each other?
because living and None has a coniction with each other..... Living things, with out realizing it, need certain organisms to keep order. Meaning, if there was too many snakes because the population of the hawk decreased then it would go like this: If the Hawk Population was to decrease then... Snakes would increase, small rodents would decrease, and plants would increase. In a way they work together keeping it from being over populated.
Do birds of prey eat boa constrictors?
Large birds of prey, like eagles, will eat young boas. The number of boa predators decrease as the snakes increase in size.

How will the decrease in the snake population affect the rabbit population?
if the snake population decreases (meaning there are less of them) the rabbit population will increases (meaning there are more of them) all do to the rabbits not being consumed by the snakes.
Why would removing snakes from a food web might result in a decrease in the grasshopper population?
there would be no snakes to eat the frogs and with more frogs their would be less grasshoppers
If the population of rabbits increase will the population of snakes increase?
Nature is like a system in equilibrium. If a change in any component nature, quality or quantity is imposed on it, it will try to suppress that change and try to nullify it. So if the number of rabbits increase that change will be nullified by many factors other than predators. Diseases, shortage of food etc. can happen. Also, the increase in the number of rabbits will provide a good habitat for the snakes and thereby help in more breeding. But this will happen only up to a particular limit after which there will be no more change.
If snakes population increase which organisms will be harmed?
Herivore, those animals which eat plants. for example, agouti, rabbit

Snakes eat mice the mice eat grain crops if the crops are plentiful what will happen?
Well mice are fast breeders so they will eat the crops. And snakes can eat lots of mice but they have lots of babys and they can have 10-13 babys every 3 weeks so its very hard to get them all and they will eat lots of the crops. But their cute =D The snake population will increase.
