what would happen if the producers in a food chain were destroyed???

Question

the food chain is producer, cricket, pill bug, and decomposers. please answer my question using only my food chain Thanks

Answer 1

The pill bugs would eat the crickets, until the crickets got really ticked off about it, and started beating the snot out of the pill bugs. The decomposers would sit back, and watch the whole thing, getting rich, until all were dead, then they would rule the world.

Put that in your homework, I guarantee an 'A'

Answer 2

The successive links in the food chain would starve. In this example, because there are no producers, the crickets would starve. Once all of the crickets had gone - either by starvation or predation by the pill bug, the pill bugs would die out. The decomposers would survive for a while on the corpses of the crickets and pill bugs, but because no new source of food is being produced, i.e. crickets and pill bugs are both now extinct, the decomposers would eventually die out too.

Answer 3

with the producers gone, the cricket and pill bug would have to forage for the warehouses of the producers.. and as that becomes depleted,, there would be less reproduction of both the cricket and the pill bug... as the cricket and pill bugs populations decrease. there would be at first an increase in the decomposers population,, but alas that too would be short lived,, as with the producers gone. the crickets and pill bugs would decrease no food.. or more time spent looking for food.. no reproduction dancing... as they would be too tired. and really hungry.... the decomposers would become cannibalistic. turning to each other as a food supply.. dead or alive... as the producers numbers decrease they too would in fewer numbers reproduce. . and then with the crickets gone. and their numbers dwindling.. they too would become extinct. and with no food for the decomposers.. they too would die,

and all would be quiet. NO life in the inn.

it takes a chain to maintain a chain.....

Answer 4

If the producers in a food source were destroyed, a series of events would take place. first the 1st stage consumers would begin to decline in population. next the 2nd stage consumers of the 1st stage consumers would decline in population. this would continue and would lead to the extinction of the consumers.

Answer 5

One or more non-producers would likely step-forward assuming that new role out of the survival instinct.
Many of us non-producers are this way only because we are able to do so. We are a bunch of lazy bastards.
