Biodiversity is important to keep an area (biome) healthy. In this example "Food Web A" is sustainable. Why is sustainability important for an ecosystem in "Food Web A".

• If one organism is removed the food web can still operate (work) with little or no negative effect.

• If an organism is removed the food web will collapse and will affect the environment.
