question for food chain


1. What would happen to the rabbits if the foxes disappeared?
the rabbits be safer, because there is less animals to consume the rabbits, and the population of rabbits will increase.
2. What would happen to the toads if the predacious insects disappeared?
The toads will die because predacious insects is the only food for the toads.

3. What would happen to the predacious insects if the spiders disappeared (think carefully)?
the predacious insects will lose kind of food, but the predacious insects still have herbivarous insects to eat.

4. What would happen to the hawks and owls if the foxes and snakes disappeared?
the hawks and owls will lose population, because if the foxes and snakes disappeared, there are alot of animals that foxes and snakes eat but the hawks and owls does not eat.

5. What would happen to the foxes if the hawk and owl population increased?
There are some food that foxes and hawk and owl eat, so, maybe the foxes will decrease their population.

Dear Atsuka,

Good job, overall, with your answers to the Task B food web questions. I would like to ask you some more questions to think about before you go to Task A. Please answer each of them:
1. For question # 4. The foxes, hawks and owls are predators of several of the same prey including rabbits, squirrels, mice, and seed eating and insetivorous birds. If all of the foxes disappeared would the hawks and owls have more or less food to eat?

2. For question # 4. The snakes, hawks and owls are predators of several of the same prey including both kinds of birds and mice. If all of the snakes disappeared would the hawks and owls have more or less food to eat?

3. For question # 4. Was your first answer correct or incorrect?

4. For question # 5. Your answer is correct, but would like you to think about the scientific word for what you are describing. If two or more animalsl eat the same sort of food and they live in the same habitat they must compete for their food. They are called ____________________. If you don't know the answer, then go to p. 136 in your textbook. Look at the third boldfaced word in the first paragraph.

Good work, ATsuK!

6 April,

Dear Atsuka,

I hope that you can respond to my last blog comments today. You could copy and paste them and then respond to them in a comment to your own blog. Then I can read it for next week. I hope also that you'll be able to embed Task A and work on it to.

Good luck,

Mrs. Bonzarelli
