If a predator is removed from an ecosystem, what would happen to the population of its food source (prey)

• The population would maintain homeostasis

• The population would decrease dramitically

• The population would increase

• They population would starve

If a secondary consumer was introduced, what would the indirect effect be on the producers in that ecosystem?

• Producers would increase due to a decrease in primary consumers

• Producers would decrease due to an increase in herbivore

• Producers would not be affected.
