What would happen to the population of mice if grasses were lost to a forest fire?

A. It would increase because there would be new plant growth.

B. It would decrease because grass is the mice’s main source of food.

C. It would not change because the mice have several other sources of food.

Based on the given options, the population of mice would not get affected as mice seems to have other sources of food as well.  

•The sequence of the transfers of energy and matter in the form of food from organism to organism is termed the food chain.  

•In the given food chain, it can be seen that grass is not the sole source of food for mice, it can even also feed on grasshopper.  

•So, even if the grasses get lost to forest fire, they can still feed on grasshopper, till they perish, as the main source of food for grasshoppers is grass.  

Thus, the correct statement is option C.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
