How would spraying pesticides to remove all
the mosquitoes in a given area affect the
food chain?
1.
2.
3.
Mosquitoes are important links in the food chain, and
removing them would affect all the animals that are
higher up
Mosquitoes are not an important species, and would
not affect the food chain
All the frogs and birds that depend on mosquitoes
would completely disappear and the ecosystem would
be destroyed

In a healthy forest, dead trees and limbs
fall to the ground and decompose. Why is
decomposition is important to a forest
ecosystem?
Nutrients are released when wood is broken
down by decomposers
Worms produce oxygen that is used by other
organisms
Dead trees provide nest sites for many
different birds
