Question

Which do you think would cause the most destruction to the organisms in a food web: taking away the carnivores, taking away the herbivores, taking away the producers or taking away the decomposers? Use evidence from your Food Web diagram above to support your claim.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I do not have access to your diagram but based on what I know, a food web cannot sustain itself without decomposers. They are the main guys who break down dead animals, plants into organic or inorganic nutrients which are needed by the primary producers to grow. So if decomposers are not there then producers cannot produce and thus herbivores cannot live and carnovers die out as well. Hope this makes sense.
