thomaster (thomaster):

No, grasshoppers eat crops

thomaster (thomaster):

Who eats the grasshopper?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh really lol? so out answer would be C? and snakes eat grasshoppers?

thomaster (thomaster):

No. It would be the most logical that frogs eat grasshoppers. and snakes eat frogs. Hawks eat snakes. Now when the grasshopper isn't there anymore. Would there be: - more food for frogs? - more snakes? - fewer crops? or - less food for hawks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
