Question

1. this diagram shows a food web for a forest eco - system. which of the following would most likely happen if all of the mice were removed from this ecosystem? a. the wolf population would decrease. b. the rabbit population would decrease. c. the deer population would increase. d. the toad population would increase. 11. what is one major difference between food webs and food chains? a. food webs cross into more than one environment. b. food webs show multiple connections among organisms. c. food webs trace the source of energy all the way back to the sun. d. food webs contain multiple consumers using a single energy source.

Explanation:

When analyzing the food web, we look at the relationships between organisms. Mice are a food source for wolves. If mice are removed, wolves would have less food available. According to the principles of predator - prey relationships in an ecosystem, a decrease in the prey (mice) would lead to a decrease in the predator (wolf) population as there is insufficient food to support them.

Answer:

A. The wolf population would decrease.
