Food Web
Food Web
There are very important parts of the food web. They are Producers, Primary, Apex/Tertiary, and Decomposers. Decomposers eat Apex/Tertiary, Primary eats Producers, and Apex/Tertiary eats Primary. As an example, the mule deer eats berries and a fox eats the deer. If the deer goes extinct, then there will be a lot of berries and then the foxes will have to find something else to eat. Then the new animals the foxes start to eat population will start to go down and if it is already small, they may go extinct. It would be the same thing if biomagnification happened. (If a toxin was introduced into the food web/chain). A way that biomagnification can happen is if bioaccumulation happens. (Gathering of substances, such as pesticides or chemicals, in an organism.)
