I’m working on a Science question and need guidance to help me study.
Complete the following activities of the Interactive Ecology Lab of the Ecosystem Video:
- Click on “Challenge” to give yourself context to the ecological scenario.
- Click on “Open Simulator.”
- Set up the food web so that only Plant A population grows, and Herbivore A is not in this ecosystem (it does not eat Plant A), take note of the results.
- Next, Reset and now click on Herbivore A (the bunny) and Herbivore C (the deer) and run the simulation again noting the results
- Run the simulation and take note of the results
- Reset again. This time click on the Top Predator and have it eat Herbivore A and Herbivore C.
- Post comments on the following Discussion Questions.
post a response to the following questions:
- Describe the differences in the Plant A population changes and put forth your reason why the Population of the Plant A population changes in each scenario.
- Using at least one outside source, try to find a real life example of an organism being removed or added to an ecosystem and the impact to the rest of the food chain/web.
Please write at least 300 words. THX!
