• eating plants

• preying on small fish

• being food for the hawk

A food web is illustrated here. If a pesticide killed all the insect larvae in this food web, all of the following would immediately result except-

• Bass would have more minnows to eat

• Snails would have more algae available

• Sunfish would be forced to eat more snails

• Minnows would lose a source of energy
