500
Give a specific example of how an ecosystem could become unbalanced.
When humans cut down too many trees, the animals that live, eat, and depend on trees to survive decrease. OR If too many people live in a small area, there are not enough resources for everyone.
500
What would happen to our ecosystem if most of the producers disappeared?
It would set our ecosystem off balance. There would not be enough to eat for animals who consume plants, so many primary consumers would die. And that would mean there would be less food for secondary consumers, and it would continue to affect all the levels in the food chain.
