Back

Invasive species have no predators.

Front

What happens to organisms when their habitats are destroyed due to human activities?

Back

Enzymes catalyze reactions by decreasing activation energy.

Front

What type of symbiosis occurs when hummingbirds pollinate flowers while feeding on nectar?

Back

Mutualism.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biological reactions?

Front

What is an invasive species?

Back

An invasive species is a non-native organism that spreads rapidly in a new environment, often causing harm to native species.

Front

What is the impact of deforestation on biodiversity?

Back

Deforestation leads to habitat loss, resulting in decreased biodiversity.
