Question

Among the four ecosystems, is the most diverse. In the second ecosystem, there are 4 species of producers, 8 primary consumers, 10 secondary consumers, and 10 tertiary consumers. If the number of species of primary consumers in the second ecosystem increases to 20, there will be .

Answer 1

Species will be four secondary and tertiary consumers will be 25

Explanation-

Given in the question the number of species is 4 then it will have 8 primary 10 secondary and 10 tertiary consumers. If this number of primary consumers increases from 8 to 20 consumers then the number of species involved would be 10 { 4x20/8 }

Number of secondary consumers would also be increased and increased value would be 25 { 10x20/8 } then again comes the tertiary number of consumer which also increases. The number of tertiary consumers will increase to 25 { 10x20/8} same as secondary.

Answer 2

Among the four ecosystems, ecosytem 3 is the most diverse. In the second ecosystem, there are 4 species of producers, 8 primary consumers, 10 secondary consumers, and 10 tertiary consumers. If the number of species of primary consumers in the second ecosystem increases to 20, there will be fewer producers in the ecosystem.
