What would happen if prey were removed from the food web?
a. the population of predators would increase.
b. the population of predators would decrease.
c. the population of predators must stay the same.
d. the population of predators would fluctuate.

The correct answer is- B. The population of predators would decrease.

Food web describes an interconnected network of food chain, where transfer of energy takes place among different organisms within an ecosystem.

Predators are primarily the wild animals that capture, kill, and consume other animals ( called prey) for obtaining energy ( that is as a source of food). If prey are removed from a food web, food source for predator will be reduced, causing a decline in the population of predators within food web.

explanation:

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
