Please can I get some help on this? please? 1. If the ecosystem is balanced, which populations should be the largest? Which should be the smallest?
2. Why can the wolf be considered both a secondary consumer and a tertiary consumer?
3. If the original amount of energy found in the producer trophic level is 100 kcal how much is passed on to the primary consumer trophic level? How does this amount limit the number of members in the next higher level?
4. Analyze what would happen to this ecosystem if one of the primary consumers was removed from the ecosystem? What would happen if a new tertiary consumer such as a mountain lion came into the ecosystem? Describe how each level would be affected if each of these changes occurred.

1. producers are the largest and consumers are the least

2. because wolves feed on both primary and secondary consumers

3. Only 10% of energy from each trophic level is passed on to the next; therefore, the energy passed to the primary consumer will be only 10 kcal.

4. disturbe,as we know that secondary consumers feed on primary consumers so if there is no primary consumers then all secondary consumers will die similarly all tertiary consumers will also die and life would be finish on the earth.

if a new tertiary consumer came into the ecosystem then it will create a problem as the number of primary and secondary consumer are same but the tertiary consumer are more so they will get less food and hence die

3 and 4 are help from others in good luck in your class
