Question

predict the most likely outcome if secondary consumers were eliminated from a food web (choose all the correct answers). the producers would go extinct there would be less energy for the tertiary consumers the primary consumers would become overpopulated. the primary consumers would relocate to another habitat

Explanation:

In a food - web, secondary consumers eat primary consumers. Without secondary consumers, primary consumers would have fewer predators, leading to over - population. Also, tertiary consumers rely on secondary consumers for energy, so their energy source would decrease. Producers are not directly affected by the elimination of secondary consumers in a way that would cause extinction. And there is no indication that primary consumers would relocate just because secondary consumers are eliminated.

Answer:

B. there would be less energy for the tertiary consumers
C. the primary consumers would become overpopulated.
