The energy is then taken back up by producers
Although its impossible , but if both primary and secondary consumers die your business will run out of customers.
Secondary rebuilds.
herbivores will reign supreme as there are no secondary consumers to eat them. This means the plants will decrease in population however, herbivores can be eaten by tertiary consumers (humans for example). Hope this answers your question 007 SGS
If there were more secondary consumers than primary consumer, then the primary consumers may not be able to find food to survive and become extinct. With too many secondary consumers as a result of no predators of them, then all of the plants may become extinct as well, causing the whole food chain to die out.
What would happen if grasses and shrubs were removed from an ecosystem? A.the primary consumers would increaseB.the primary consumers would become secondary consumersC.the primary consumers would die out or move elsewhereD.the primary consumers would stay unchanged
energy source(sun)>producer(grass)>primary consumer(mouse)>secondary consumer(snake)> tertiary(hawk)>decomposer(fungi) All organisms die and get broken down by decomposers
Yes and no, without them there would be no life because primary consumers would die without food, and then secondary consumers and so forth. However secondary consumers don't feed directly from the producers so they are not all the food in that sense.
the plant will die
The food chain is the process by which sunlight energy is captured by plants (producers) which make food. Plants are then eaten by herbivores (primary consumers)n which are in turn eaten by carnivores (secondary consumers). Man is an animal and part of this food chain, if we destroy the food chain we will die.
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.
If the secondary consumers are removed then the apex predators will die with no prey to prey on.
