What would happen if the sun went out? discribe the ripple affect.
The plants would all die and then the primary consumers would die and then the secondary consumers would die and there would be a lot of dying.
What would happen if all producers dissapered? discribe the ripple affect.
There would be no food for primary consumers so there would be no food for secondary consumers and so pretty much everything that eats would die of starvation or the fact that PLANTS MAKE OXEGEN SO WE WOULD SUFFOCATE.
What might happen if all of the secondary consumers dissepiered? discribe the ripple affect.
There would be many more primary consumers that would eat all the plants and run their food source dry. then they would all starve.
What would happen if all decomposers dissapered? discribe the ripple affect.
Decomposers break down dead orinisms, so if they all dissapeared the amount of dead matter would just keep bulding and building, seeping into water sorces and the earth itself. this would poisen everything for miles and add even more more plants and animals would die.
