How do bugs help plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Controlling growth, dispersing seeds, and eating predators are ways in which bugs help plants. For example, bugs that are not invading or swarming in response to environmental stress and that are not natural enemies (such as aphids) may eat just enough to contain -- and not permanently damage -- development while acting as natural controls on "bad bugs" (as in the interaction between beneficial ladybugs and harmful mealybugs) and natural supports for the next generation by spreading pollen or seeds.

What could happen if a component of your food web is removed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a species of plant or animal in the food web was completely removed, there will probably be another to take it's place. Say that grass is removed from the food web. What eats grass? When a cow goes to eat grass, there is none. The cow would not die right away, but eventually it would. Who eats cows? People do. Large animals do.The mountain lions wouldn't be able to eat. They would die. You have grass. The grasshopper eats the grass. The fish eats the grasshopper. The bird eats the fish. The snake eats the bird. The bear eats the snake. We eat the bear. If you remove one place, than the next one just gets jacked up. Hope my point of veiw helped!

Why does boby mass decrease in each step of the food chain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

as we go up the food chain, of course, the energy will decrease...

it is because, from the primary producer, the primary consumer consumes it until the consumer will become the producer... and the cycle preceeds.. the energy will decrease because of the cycle..

What is transeferred from producers to consumers and decomposers through food chains?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.

What would happen if all the spiders were removed from the food web?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If one or two organism were removed from the food web, then it would have a potentially big impact on the web e.g. maybe a bug species disappears, than all the predators that only rely on this type of bug will die of starvation, therefore all the predators of THAT predator will die too, because THEIR prey would be extinct

What would happen to a food chain if there was an increase in the hawk population?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
