Question

Explain what would happen if the majority chipmunk population were to die because of disease. how would that affect the other organisms in the food web? which organisms would increase in numbers and why would they increase? which organism would decrease in numbers and why would they decrease?

Answer 1

Answer:

organisms that eat chipmunks, like big birds or something, would decrease because their food source has decreased. Organism that are eaten by chipmunks, like grass, will increase because they aren't being eaten as much anymore. organisms that eat the same foods as chipmunks will increase because they have less competition for food now.
