Answer 3

So have you ever seen a food chain or a food web?

So let's say we get rid of all the plants. They just all died all of a sudden. What will happen to the grasshoppers?
Based on what happens to the grasshoppers, what do you think will happen to the mice?

And finally, what happens to the snakes that eat the mice?

So if the entire plant population is wiped out, what happens to all these animals? Are they going to increase or decrease in number?
