Why is balance in an ecosystem important? What happens when one part is removed? Use the case study at Yellowstone National Park as an example. 

When one part of an ecosystem is removed, this causes disruption to the other organisms. For example, when wolves were removed from Yellowstone National Park, the elk population doubled. This caused the rivers to erode (due to their hooves), bears to have less food (berries), the drinking water in the nearby town was murky, etc...

Why are there fewer tertiary/apex consumers in an ecosystem?

There is not enough energy available to support large populations of high-level consumers. During energy transfer, only 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next. 

At each level, some of the biomass consumed is excreted as waste, some energy is changed to heat (and therefore unavailable for consumption) during respiration, and some plants and animals die without being eaten (meaning their biomass is not passed on to the next consumer).

What is a carnivore? It eats only meat.

Explain how energy is transferred in a food chain?

Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose (sugars), and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.
