What would happen if a major predator was removed from the food web?

Biology
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Prey population explosion

Explanation:

If a major predator is removed from the ecosystem, it will disturb the predator-prey relationship in the ecosystem that will result in the direct increase in the prey population. This phenomenon is called population explosion where there is no check and balance on the prey population.

For example, if there is a major predator in the forest ecosystem it will feed on herbivores and keep their population at a certain level. This is called predator-prey balance where predators kill prey which in-turn cause food scarcity for predators and leads to a decrease in predator population too. So if any major predator is removed from ecosystem it will disturb this intricate balance.

Hope it helps!

Which choice lists the Linnaean taxons in the correct order from least specific to most specific?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.

Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.

Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.

Which type of glandular cells in the stomach secrete hydrogen and chloride that form hydrochloric acid?
Simora [160]
The correct option is D.
Parietal cells are the epithelial cells which secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factors. The cells are located in the gastric glands which are found in the linings of the walls of the stomach. The hydrochloric acid produced by the parietal cells helps in the conversion of the enzyme pepsinogen to pepsin during the digestion process.
