6. How might a disturbance in a food web impact other organisms in the marine
environment?

When one thing dies, or is taken away from the food web, then this could happen:

Let's say plants are taken away. Then, herbivores have nothing to eat, sot hey die. Then, carnivores have nothing to eat, and the same thing happens, etc.

Plants are the base of survival for every organism in nearly every ecosystem.

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.
