9. A scientist is studying an ecosystem that has had its top predator removed and is trying to predict the future impact it will have on the ecosystem. The predator had a large home range. It ate large-sized secondary consumers, which have no other predators. The top predator also ate some small primary consumers, which breed quickly and several times a year. These prey organisms feed heavily on grasses and some brush.
With this information in mind, what kind of impact can the scientist predict the removal of the organism will have, and why?
a) Small impact because the producers and consumers will keep each other in check.
b) Large impact because the secondary and primary consumers will explode in population size and decimate the grasses as a result.
c) Large impact because the primary and secondary producers will grow unchecked and then die out due to high rates of competition for resources.
d) Small impact because another animal will take the place of the top predator.
10. Rivers that experience flooding
a) permanently lose the affected ecosystem
b) maintain a consistent ecosystem despite the flooding
c) experience a temporary displacement of organisms
d) have seasonal ecosystems

b) small impact, lasts a long time
c) large impact, lasts a short time
d) large impact, lasts a long time
