Imagine a very short food chain
Species A eats species B, and species B eats species C
If species B becomes extinct, then species A loses a source of its food, and its survival may become threatened; and species C loses its predator and its population may grow to become a plague to its environment.
What else can I help you with?
What are the possible consequences of adding an organism to the food chain?
It can mess up the food chain for the other organisms in it.
Why is overfishing a problem for aquatic ecosystems?
Bad for food chain
What led to the extinction of t-rex?
A meteorite impact that caused plants to cease production of pollen, meaning that flowering plants had shut down, causing a chain reaction up the food chain that eventually led to the extinction of the T-Rex.
What would happen if you added an organism to the food web with no predators?
it would mess up the food chain and make every thing go wrong. :) :D :O
What happens when a first order consumer dies?
It messes' up the whole food chain or web. It could lead to extinction, and that could hurt all organisms,
Why is it important to avoid a species dying out?
If an animal dies out it could mess up its food chain, which could lead to over populations and under populations.
What safety and ethical issues do you think might arise over the use of genetic enineering?
well genetically engineering might produce Eco systematic problems and mess up the way things work naturally. for example giving one animal an advantage over the animal that normally preys on it could screw up the food chain and force extinction of the predator
What happens to a food chain if one species becomes extinct?
the one below it will die because it will have nothing to keep its population down and then it will eat up all its food so it and its food dies and then humans will because the world has ran out of food.
What do producers make up of the food chain?
Producers make up the first part of the food chain.
Producers make up the what of the food chain?
Producers make up the first part of the food chain.
What make up an interconnected food chain?
Food
As we move along the food chain does the energy increase or decreases and why?
Energy decreases as we go up the food chain because there are less organisms as we go up, so that the ecosystem doesn't run out of food at the bottom of the chain.
