Question

Which of the following would occur if the Thrush population was to suddenly decrease?



a
The population of Eagles would increase
b
The population of Eagles would decrease
c
The population of Dragonfly would decrease
d
The population of corn would increase

Answer 1

The answer is B because if the thrush were to decrease that would give eagles leas food to rely on

Answer 2

Answer- B

Reasoning: Since Eagles directly eat Thrush, their populations would decrease.

The other answers are wrong because with the first choice, Eagles would not increase in population if one of their food sources were removed. For the third choice, Dragonflies wouldn’t increase. Since Thrush eat Dragonflies, the disappearance of Thrush wouldn’t hurt the population of Dragonflies. Lastly, The last option is wrong because corn isn’t reliant on animals to survive. If Thrush disappear, corn will not be affected. This leaves B. to be the answer.
