What would happen to a food chain if there was an increase in the hawk population?
Hawk prey would decrease, and hawk predators would increase, making hawks decrease again. So to put it in context... Hawks eat mice, right? So the mouse population would increase, meaning more food for other animals that eat mice, like owls. So the owl population would increase, making mice decrease. Then animals that might eat hawks (I don't know if anything does) would increase, and eat all of the hawks then everything would eventually even out again.
To answer your question, lots of things will happen, but it will all even out again.
What else can I help you with?
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 would happen to the population of predators if there were said and increase in food for their prey?
they grow... THE FOOD CHAIN GOES DOWN FAST though
What do you predict will happen in the bay if the blue crabs were eliminated from the environment?
First of all, the prey of the blue crab would decrease in population and the predators would increase in population. As a result the whole food chain would be thrown off.
What would most likely happen if the number of hawks increases?
The mouse population will increase. (apex)
Using the food chain explain what would happen to the hawk population and the frog population if the snake population were reduced by disease?
A. The populations of hawks and rabbits will decrease.B. The populations of hawks and rabbits will increase.C. The population of hawks will increase. The population of rabbits will decrease.D. The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase
What would happen if all the Tertiary animals in a food chain disappeared?
The loss of tertiary consumers in a food chain would lead to an increase in the population of their prey, the secondary consumers. This would likely result in a decrease in the population of primary consumers as they are consumed at a higher rate. Overall, the ecosystem could become imbalanced as the food chain is disrupted.
What would happen to a rabbit population over a ten year period?
it will increase
Would most likely happen if the number of shrimp increase?
the plankton population would decrease
What will happen if the tertiary consumer dies in a food chain?
If the tertiary consumer dies in a food chain, it could disrupt the entire ecosystem. This could lead to an increase in population of the secondary consumer, which in turn would lead to a decrease in population of the primary consumer. This imbalance in the food chain could have cascading effects on the rest of the ecosystem.
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.
What would happen if grasshoppers increased?
what do all the internal stucture parts of the grasshopper do
What will happen to the oystercatcher population if there is competition for food?
The oysters would die and cockles (which they feed on) would increase.
