Food Web: "Missing Link" Questions

 1) What would you hypothesize might happen to the other organisms in the web, if killer whales went extinct?

2) What might happen if we exhausted the fishery (through over fishing), and fish were no longer a component of our food web?

3) What might happen if we removed the algae or plants from the food web?

4) Which scenario above would affect the most organisms? Why?

5) What does this tell you about the importance of the start of the food web?
