Answer:

1) it'll affect the chain reactions in the whole ecosystem and therefore, have a big effect on the environment.

2) if this happens then humans may lose the source of medicines as well, thus humans will be hit by a disease and there would probably be no cure, hence again affecting the biodiversity.

Answer:

  • Changing systems are inevitable but likewise bring harsh and even uncontrollable effects
  • Extinction is especially harmful because of the concept of mutual or coexistence theorems in which certain animals depend on others
  • We will examine the food chain: Say that grasshoppers go extinct and the lizards that eat them exclusively now have no food source. That effect transcends into a higher order as it climbs up the food ladder. Effectively these said lizards could have been controlling the bug population and effectively the grasshoppers controlled smaller micro organisms which now are left to their own devices given the extinction of the grasshoppers.
  • effectively those microorganism can damage ecosystems and dramatically change the composition or animals and vegetation that exist in said area.
