In a biome where too many predators live, resources are used up too quickly and predators will leave, thus allowing the food chain to realign.

Question

Answer 1

Based on the description you provided, it seems that the successful biome is illustrating a balanced ecosystem where the dynamics of the food chain and the relationships between predators, prey, and producers are represented. The correct response would likely focus on the number of organisms at different levels of the food chain and how they relate to each other, particularly in terms of predator-prey relationships.

Given the options:

1. the relative amount of energy at each level
2. the amount of living organic matter at each level
3. the relative number of individual organisms at each level
4. the first-level consumers outnumber producers

The best choice would be:

the relative number of individual organisms at each level

This indicates that the dynamics of population sizes among the various levels of the food chain are being emphasized.
