11. The plants, which were food for the wolves, did not have the elk maintaining their population size, so overgrazing did not occur.

12. Wolves are considered keystone species because they are a species that other plants and animals within an ecosystem largely depend on. They are also apex predators (predators at the top of the food chain) and greatly influence their environment. The removal of wolves from the ecosystem would drastically change and possibly collapse the ecosystem because no other species is able to fill the wolves' ecological niche.

When the last remaining wolf pups in Yellowstone were killed in 1924, it started a top-down process called a trophic cascade, which is an ecological process that starts at the top of the food chain and affects other organisms all the way down the food chain. This is a change that results from the removal of an ecosystem's keystone species or apex predators.

13. The deer population would probably grow like it did prior to 2010 until starvation and disease began to limit the population similar to how the deer affected Yellowstone before the wolves were reintroduced.
