B. all animals need each other in an ecosystem if you take away the top predators the secondary producers rabbits ect.. will over populate and over consume their natural food source and start to die off from hunger. if the producers are taken away all the predators will die off from hunger.

b. all the organisms in an ecosystem interact with each other. This is because all of the organisms need each other to survive a lot of the organisms eat each other and others help to create shelter and life for an ecosystem.

Hope this helps!
