If an animal goes extinct in a food web, what would happen to the other creatures that EAT that organism?
(word your answer)
Their population may decrease due to losing a food source.
If someone is at the top of a roller coaster do they have HIGH Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) or LOW GPE
HIGH GPE - because the higher the height of something, the greater the potential energy as seen in the equation:
GPE = m x g x h

(b) The movement of heat by the circulation of a fluid
(c) The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves
(c) The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves

(a) An organism that creates energy through chemical reactions in its cells
(b) An organism that helps to break down and recycle organic matter/nutrients in soil in an ecosystem
(c) An organism that competes with others for resources
(b) An organism that helps to break down and recycle organic matter/nutrients in soil in an ecosystem
If an animal goes extinct in a food web, what would happen to the other creatures that GET EATEN by that organism?
(word your answer)
Their population may increase due to having less predators.
