Question

In the energy pyramid below, what would most likely happen to all other levels if a disease killed off all of the rabbits? *

Snakes would decrease, hawks would decrease, and grass would increase
snakes would increase, hawks would increase, grass would increase
snakes would increase, hawks would increase, grass would decrease
snakes would decrease, hawks would increase, grass would increase

Answer 1

The answer is A. Rabbits eat grass. The snakes eat the rabbits and the hawks eat the snakes. So if rabbits died off, so would the snakes, and the hawks. Because both of their food sources would deplete. And grass would flourish.
