When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.

If the top predator is taken out of the food web, then the animal that the top predator used to eat, will grow in population. As a result, the next animal will decrease in population and it creates an imbalance that affects the whole ecosystem.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows :

Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called:

A)thermoregulators.

B)hibernators.

C)aerophiles.

D)endotherms.

E)dormants.

  • An animal that is capable of maintaining a body temperature that is metabolically favorable for the organism is known as an endotherm.
  • The body temperature is maintained by an endotherm by using its internal body capacity to generate heat rather than depending on the ambient temperature.
  • Some of the mechanisms used by endotherms to maintain a suitable internal body temperature include shivering, uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, sweating, flushing, etc.
  • The endotherms include birds and mammals.
  • The ability to perform endothermy is owed to the presence of a large number of mitochondria that enables the organism to increase the rate of metabolism to generate heat as and when required.
