Question

4. Analyze what would happen to this ecosystem if one of the primary consumers was removed from the ecosystem?

What would happen if a new tertiary consumer such as a mountain lion came into the ecosystem? Describe how each
level would be affected if each of these changes occurred.

Due to a primary consumer being taken out there will be more producers and less secondary consumers because of the new tertiary consumer eating them and the lack of food for the secondary.
