Primary consumers are those that are herbivorous - they only eat producers. Primary consumers are the link between the base of an ecosystem's chain food - where simple substances are transformed into organic compounds by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis - and the upper layers - where energy is obtained from, mostly, other animals.
If primary consumers were not found in an ecosystem, all other layers of the chain food on that ecosystem would be nonexistent. The ecosystem would only be made by producers.

Ecosystem without primary consumers: say for ex there are bears and fish, right, so if all the bears disappear or just all die suddenly than the fish aka the prey would benefit. Why? well because without having to worry about bears eating them they can live without fear and they can reproduce more families of fish, and even live longer, and also eat more. More prey without predators is basically the dream for prey, prey don't want to be eaten, but that's the food chain so consumers really don't care, they just want to eat, so it would be good for prey to live without predators.

Once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. The trait of immunity or resistance to such antibiotic is then passed as a trait from one generation to another.

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) along with sympathetic nervous system (SNS) makes autonomic nervous system (ANS). ANS controls the functioning of internal processes like digestion rate, heart rate, respiratory rate etc. During a threat or stressful situation SNS is activated. It increases heart rate, respiratory rate and directs blood flow towards peripheral muscles as a part of "fight or flight response". When the situation becomes normal, PNS is activated which restores all the vitals as a part of "rest and digest" mechanism.

Since here Byron almost got into an accident, he was scared a lot due to which his SNS was activated. Eventually when he realized that he is out of danger, his PNS got activated which returned his heart rate and blood pressure to normal levels.
