What will happen if deer is missing in the food chain given below?

Grass \rightarrow Deer \rightarrow Tiger
(a) The population of tiger increases
(b) The population of grass decreases
(c) Tiger will start eating grass
(d) The population of tiger decreases and the population of grass increases

Answers (1)

(d)
The given food chain is Grass \rightarrow Deer \rightarrow Tiger
Tiger is a carnivore so obviously, it cannot feed on the grass to obtain energy. If deer is missing in the given food chain, there will not be sufficient food/energy for the tigers. The tigers will die because of starvation and hence, the population of tigers will decrease.

Now as deer is missing, so grass consumption will not be there, hence grass will also increase.

Therefore option (D) is correct
