Wolves are considered _____ because they are a species that other plants and animals within an ecosystem largely depend on. They are also _____ predators (predators at the top of the food chain) and greatly influence their environment. The _____ of wolves from the ecosystem would drastically change and possibly collapse the ecosystem because no other species is able to fill the wolves' ecological niche. When the last remaining wolf pups in Yellowstone were killed in 1924, it started a top-down process called a ________, which is an ecological process that starts at the top of the food chain and affects other organisms all the way down the food change. This is a change that results from the the removal of an ecosystem's _______ predators or ________

Answer 1

Wolves are considered keystone species because they are a species that other plants and animals within an ecosystem largely depend on. They are also apex predators (predators at the top of the food chain) and greatly influence their environment. The removal of wolves from the ecosystem would drastically change and possibly collapse the ecosystem because no other species is able to fill the wolves' ecological niche. When the last remaining wolf pups in Yellowstone were killed in 1924, it started a top-down process called a trophic cascade, which is an ecological process that starts at the top of the food chain and affects other organisms all the way down the food chain. This is a change that results from the removal of an ecosystem's top predators or herbivores.

Answer 2

last 2, top and predators, arent an option

Answer 3

Thank you for the clarification! Here’s the revised response:

Wolves are considered keystone species because they are a species that other plants and animals within an ecosystem largely depend on. They are also apex predators (predators at the top of the food chain) and greatly influence their environment. The removal of wolves from the ecosystem would drastically change and possibly collapse the ecosystem because no other species is able to fill the wolves' ecological niche. When the last remaining wolf pups in Yellowstone were killed in 1924, it started a top-down process called a trophic cascade, which is an ecological process that starts at the top of the food chain and affects other organisms all the way down the food chain. This is a change that results from the removal of an ecosystem's keystone species or top-level predators.

If "top" and "predators" are not options, you might choose words like dominant or large in their place, depending on the context allowed in your exercise.
