Answer 8

The rabbit is a primary consumer. Removing the rabbit removes an energy source for the secondary consumers which in turn removes an energy source for the tertiary consumers.

Answer 9

Right like @sweetburger said, but also try to reason through the answer.

Removing the Rabbit will cause a big shift in equilibrium

Answer 10

what about if we remove the jaguar?

Answer 11

Make sure you are understanding what the question is asking, but also understand for yourself what is really going on.

Answer 12

thank you all but what happens we if remove the jaguar?

Answer 13

Well what do you think?

Answer 14

Since the Jaguar is eating a lot of different things on the food web, what can we say reasonably is going to happen if we take away the jaguar?

Answer 15

well i think population of rabbits will increase
and thus lead to increase in population of alligator
has no effect on animal eating grass
amount of grass/ producers would decrease due to large number of rabbits
has no effect on number of decomposers since large number of rabbits compensate for removal of jaguar from the food web

Answer 16

These animals are being eaten by the Jaguar, now what happens if we simply take away the jaguar.

Answer 17

??

Answer 18

has no effect on animal eating grass
amount of grass/ producers would decrease due to large number of rabbits


this statement is a bit confusing, so are you saying grass would increase or decrease

Answer 19

ahh I see what you are saying, grass eater (the picture of the animal) and grass producer.

Ok makes sense. I like your answer better now.
