How does photosynthesis affect the starling?

Firstly: This sounds like a test question. Try reading the study material provided for your class. The Starling's diet consists mostly of fruits and insects. As fruit-bearing plants produce energy via photosynthesis, and the majority of insects are very closely connected to the growth and propagation of plants, it stands to reason that the Starling's diet would vanish without the energy-conversion of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows plants to harness the energy required to grow and reproduce. As plants grow and reproduce, they produce fruit, and provide food to insects and other animals. The insects that consume the fruit and other plant produce in turn thrive and reproduce, and themselves become food for other animals.

What food chain includes Bird eating insects?

A food chain that includes a bird eating insects might start with plants, which produce energy through photosynthesis. Herbivorous insects feed on these plants, and then small birds, such as sparrows or warblers, consume the insects. This chain illustrates the transfer of energy from producers (plants) to primary consumers (insects) and then to secondary consumers (birds).

What are the ways that insects attack crop plants?

Insects can attack crop plants by feeding on leaves, stems, roots, or fruits, which can weaken or kill the plant. They can also transmit diseases to plants, reducing their health and productivity. Additionally, insects like aphids can produce honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty mold that can further harm plants.
