1. The second snake
2. The hawk is the top predator.
3. The animal that eats animals and plants is an omnivore.
4. All the animals that eat producers are herbivores.
5. If there were no more hawks in the food web, other bird and rodent populations would likely increase due to reduced predation.
6. A group of organisms of a single species living in a particular area is a population.
7. Organisms that break down complex compounds and dead tissue are decomposers.
8. All living and nonliving things in a given area make up an ecosystem.
9. This particular environment in which a particular organism is adapted is its habitat.
10. The specific role of an organism within its habitat is its niche.
11. An animal that eats both plants and animals is an omnivore.
12. Members of a single species that occupy a continuous area form a population.
13. Animals that feed only on other organisms are consumers.
