Question

how do changes in one organism affect other organisms in the food web? a food web shows the interconnectedness of organisms in an environment. for example, if grasses began to die due to high temperatures, marmots and butterflies and decomposers (like mushrooms and fungi) would be directly affected since they eat grasses. given this interconnectedness, food webs can help predict how organisms may be affected when another organism’s population is being threatened. if a plant virus severely decreases the population of berry - producing plants, which organisms would be directly affected according to this food web? check all that apply. seeds grasses deer grizzly bears chipmunk red - tailed hawk grouse marmot butterflies

Explanation:

To determine which organisms are directly affected by the decrease in berry - producing plants, we look at the food web. Organisms that directly consume berry - producing plants will be directly affected. Grizzly bears, chipmunks, and grouse are known to eat berries (from the context of the food web description). Seeds, grasses, red - tailed hawk, marmot, and butterflies do not directly consume berry - producing plants in this context. So the organisms directly affected are Grizzly bears, Chipmunk, and Grouse.

Answer:

Grizzly bears, Chipmunk, Grouse
