Answer;

The above statement is false

Step-by-step explanation;

Adding or removing an organism to a food chain affects the other organisms of the food chain.

-Food chains, pyramids of numbers and pyramids of biomass are all ways of showing how energy is passed on from one organism to another.

-All organisms in a food web are related to one another and changes of population of one organism will affect the population of others. Each organism, in a food web, is either a prey or predator (or both) of another organism. Thus, changes in its population will mean less threat or food to another organism. Also many organisms are in competition, with each other, for same food source. Thus, changes in its population greatly affects other organisms in a food chain.
