ELEN [110]

Answer:

The reactants and enzymes required for a particular biological process are concentrated in a particular organelle.

Slower

Explanation:

Enzymes are usually localized in organelles to make it easier for cellular processes to occur. Enzymes are NOT randomly distributed in the cell. Each organelle is capable of a specific function and uses specific enzymes to do these processes. Enzymes are very specific and only work for certain organelles, so they are appropriately distributed throughout cells to ensure biological processes can proceed appropriately. This is also why processes would run slower if they were just in the cytoplasm, because organelles have reactant-specific enzymes to do certain biological processes, which cannot be effectively done in the cytoplasm in the cell.

Vladimir79 [104]
All of the consumers would be affected, and be forced to adapt.  Since the amount of grass has decreased, the primary consumer would struggle to survive, and most likely, die out.  Since the primary consumer has probably died out, the secondary would either die, or be forced to adapt to the situation, or change habitats ( applies to the rest in the food chain / web).
