<span>If the primary consumers are removed from an ecosystem, there would be no way for energy to get from the producer (plant) level to higher level consumers which eat only primary consumers. So the population increases in producer (and probably producer diversity) and decreases in secondary, tertiary and higher order consumer populations.</span>

Primary consumers are taken away from the ecosystem, then there wouldn't be a way for the energy to go from producer level to a higher level of consumers which only eats primary consumers. Tertiary and higher order consumer population, the population increases in producers but decreases in secondary.

Why is cell specialization important to an organism

garri49 [273]

Cell specialization is essential to an organism because cell specialization is what allows cells to provide the essential functions of life for an organism that have a wide variety of functions and purposes. Cell specialization leads to the diversity of cells in an organism such as the human body that build and allow essential organs and bodily functions to occur. Cell specialization is an essential building block that allows multi-celled and complex organisms to move and function.
