only answer if you know! thanks!
Which of the following most correctly represents biomanipulation through the top-down model?
Addition of quaternary consumers, so that tertiary consumers can decrease
Removal of tertiary consumers, so that secondary consumers can increase
Addition of primary producers, so that secondary consumers can increase
Removal of secondary consumers, so that tertiary consumers can increase

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Removal of tertiary consumers, so that secondary consumers can increase.

Explanation:

Removal of tertiary consumers leads to the increase in the population of secondary consumers because tertiary consumers feeds on the secondary consumers. If the population of predators decreases, the population of prey ultimately increases in that ecosystem. Biomanipulation is the change of an ecosystem by adding or removing species, that feeds on other animals such as predators so we can say that removal of tertiary consumers leads to the increase in the population of secondary consumers.
