Question

Consider the following food chain: Plants are eaten by grasshoppers, which are eaten by mice, which are eaten by snakes.

Answer 1

Answer;

-The populations of grasshoppers, mice, and snakes would decrease.

Explanation;

-The food web or a food chain describes the series of relationships that occur between predators and prey in an ecosystem.

-Several types of life forms form the food web. Green plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis are the web's producers. They form the bottom of the chain. Animals that get food from other animals and plants are consumers. Decomposers feed off dead plants and animals because decomposers cannot make their own food.

-If producers were removed in a food chain then, all the other animals in the food web would die too, because their food supplies would have died out. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.

Answer 2

The population of grasshoppers, mice, and snakes would decrease.
