Question

plants, bison, elk, and wolves are all members of an ecosystem. The bison and elk are both primary consumers in this ecosystem, while the wolves are a predator. Over time, the bison completely disappear. Give an example of how the ecosystem may respond to this change, and explain how this relates to both resiliency and biodiversity. In a short way to make it look like a 7th grader.

Answer 1

With the bison gone, the elk population could become too large and eat too many plants, which would affect the other animals in the ecosystem. This shows how ecosystems have to be resilient to changes and how biodiversity is important because it helps make sure that there are different plants and animals to keep the ecosystem healthy.
