Question

9. Grizzly bears are top carnivores in some North American ecosystems. What do you think might happen to a community of organisms if grizzly bears suddenly became extinct? (Provide 2 distinct results and explain each using 5+ sentences.)

Answer 1

A community of organisms would have a down fall due to an unbalance in the food chain. Since a Grizzly bear is a third tropic level consumer, there would be an increase in tertiary consumers. This would then cause all the other level in a decrease in population due to over eaten.
