Question

Give a specific example of an organism in a food chain being removed. Explain what happens when this occurs.

Answer 1

, if we remove plants from a food chain, no organism will get food as plants are the primary producers in the food chain. If herbivores are removed from a food chain then carnivores will starve and die and producers are also affected and may die due to competition for space and nutrients.

Answer 2

If we take predators out of the food chain like sharks it will have negative impacts on other sea animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking out sharks in the food chain runs the risk of a fish population increasing. In doing so the fishes will need to eat more and other sea animals that depend on the same food sources as the fish would not be able to eat. Creating not only food scarcity, but changing the ocean ecosystem. Think of it as a building arc made of stone the shark would be the center of the arc taking the middle stone both sides would crumble down indicating the importance of a shark as a predator in the food chain. They are there to help keep balance.
