What might happen to the other organisms if disease were to kill off one of the teriary consumers in the food web?
If you killed off a teriary consumer then the population of the animals they used to feed on might rise. If there was competition with another teriary consumer, then those might rise in numbers as well since they are no longer competing for the same food rescource. Since there will be a larger population of secondary consumers, then the number of other teriary consumers that feed on them will rise.
What would happen to the environment if there were no consumers?
if all secondary consumers or predators will be killed.the population of herbivores will increase.there will be no living things.
What happends if your body temperature reaches 117?
A temp that high would fry a person's brain--they would die long, long before it ever reached 117F. A temp of 101 generally means the person is very ill. Over 103 to 105F means a person is in a medical crisis, could go into seizures, and can die if temp is not brought down quickly.
How nan decomposers help the consumers and producers stay alive?
Decomposers break down dead organisms, which turns them into fertilizers that can aid plant growth and return the energy to the food chain, and thus provides more food and energy for animals (consumers). When the plants and animals die, they themselves are decomposed, and the cycle begins again.
What do the Producers Provide?
Producers in an ecosystem create biomass from inorganic substances (nutrients from chemicals present in the soil, air, and the energy from sunlight). Once these substances have been created and incorporated into the producers themselves, they are passed along the food chain into the consumers. Without producers, consumers would inevitably die off from lack of nutrients.
What happenes when primary and secondary consumers die?
Secondary rebuilds.
What would happen if there were more secondary consumers than primary consumers?
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 happens when secondary ad primary consumers die?
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 grass and shrubs were removed from rural Massachusetts ecosystem what would most likely happen?
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
What are the four levels in an energy pyramid?
The four levels in an energy pyramid are producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and tertiary consumers (top predators). Each level represents a trophic level in the food chain, with energy transferring from one level to the next as organisms are consumed.
Does producers are the source of all the food in an ecosystem?
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.
What happen when primary and secondary die.?
the plant will die
What happens to primary and secondary consumers when they die?
The energy is then taken back up by producers
Should food chain be preserved why?
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.
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 the animals if all producers were removed from the environment?
If the secondary consumers are removed then the apex predators will die with no prey to prey on.
Give example of a food chain in the rain forest biome?
Scavengers- King Vulture, Bald Eagle, Decomposers- earthworms, fungi, termites, and bacteria Producers- Grass, The Cathedral Fig Tree, shrubs, Leichhardt Tree, Forest Flame flower, Staghorn Fern Primary Consumers- Colobus Monkey, Sloth, Deer, Mice Secondary Consumers- Owls, Beavers Tertiary Consumers- Bears, Cougars
