Q5.9. Imagine all the Grasshoppers are removed and excluded from a large area of themeadow ecosystem. Which of the following predictions is LEAST likely to occur,according to the diagrams?Spider B will go extinct.The Spider C population size will decrease.The Beetle population size will increase.The diagrams indicate that all of the above are equally likely.Submit The competitive dominance hierarchy (left) and food web (right) diagrams below show simplifiedspecies relationships for a large meadow habitat in the midwestern United States.

A food web is an intricate web of linked food chains that symbolises the movement of nutrients and energy within an ecosystem. It shows how energy is transferred and who eats whom within a community, illuminating the relationships between different organisms.Here are the key components of a food web:Producers: Typically, these are plants or algae that use photosynthesis to create their own food by turning sunlight into energy. They serve as the food web's foundation.Customers: In order to obtain energy, these organisms are known as consumers. Customers are divided into additional trophic levels:Primary Consumers: Known as herbivores, these organisms consume producers directly. Grasshoppers, deer, and rabbits are a few examples.Secondary consumers: Carnivores, or secondary consumers, are organisms that consume primary consumers. Carnivorous insects, foxes, and snakes are a few examples.Tertiary Consumers: Top predators, or tertiary consumers, are organisms that feed on secondary consumers. Wolves, hawks, and big carnivorous mammals are a few examples.Decomposers: These organisms break down dead organic matter into simpler substances, facilitating the recycling of nutrients. Examples include bacteria and fungi.According to the question, If all the grasshoppers are removed and excluded from a large area of the Meadow ecosystem, the statement which is least predicted from the image is ---- Option A. Spider B will go extinct.This is because-----Option B: Spider C population size will decrease------ This is likely a true statement. Spider C feeds grasshoppers. If we exclude all grasshoppers, the food of spider C will decrease, and as a result population size will be decrease.Option C: The beetle population size will increase----- It is also likely a true statement. Both beetles and grasshoppers are fed herbs. If grasshoppers are removed from the area, beetles can consume more herbs, and that causes the increased size of beetle population.According to the question, If all the grasshoppers are removed and excluded from a large area of the Meadow ecosystem, the statement which is least predicted from the image is ---- Option A. Spider B will go extinct.
