Question

14.5 Predict what would happen if the following organisms were to disappear from a forest: (a) Decomposers (b) Producers (c) Herbivores (d) Carnivores​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. if the decomposers would disappear there would be no organisms left to break down the dead plants and animals. The nutrients would never return back to the soil, from where the food chain starts.

2. If the producers disappear the, the count of herbivores would decrease, as they would have nothing left to feed on.

3 if the herbivores disappear, the number of carnivores would decrease, and the number of producer would increase.

4. If the carnivores disappear, the number of herbivores would increase and ultimately the number of producers will decrease.
