Answer 1

Answer: the population of frogs and mice would increase which would cause the population of grasshoppers to decrease

Explanation: I’m on the test right now and I’m looking at the web, the mice and frog get eaten by the snake, and the grasshopper get eaten by the frog and the mice, so if the mice and frog population increases the populating of the grasshopper would decrease :)

Answer 2

If snakes were removed from the food web, the population of frogs and mice would increase which would cause the population of grasshoppers to decrease.

Snakes predate on frogs and mice. Thus, if they are removed from the food chain, the population of frogs and mice would be less pressured and, therefore, thrive.

With the thriving population of frogs and mice comes the pressure on the population of grasshoppers. Frogs and some species of mice feed on grasshoppers.

Thus, if the population of frogs and mice thrives as a result of the absence of snakes, more grasshoppers will be eaten and the population of grasshoppers will decrease as a result.
