Moving to a new ecosystem and taking resources from natives

Plants that take up too much space

Its population size is smaller than the native species

It is more energy efficient, so it eats less food

It is a predator of the native species

ecosystems to be severely damaged

ecosystems to be improved for future generations

the restoration of environmental stability

A reduction in the variety of pollinating insects would negatively affect the plant populations that depend on them. Which of the following describes the most serious impact this would have on humans?

Crops that humans use for food would be reduced

Plants that don't need insects to pollinate would die

People would have to build new homes

There would be a decrease in the availability of soil

Image "B" shows more biodiversity than image "A". Why?

Because "B" shows more different species than image "A"

Because image "B" has less different species than "A"

"A" has a greater number of same species plants so this statement is wrong.

Both images show the same biodiversity

Information on brown tree snakes is provided along with information on the island of Guam. Brown tree snakes were first brought to Guam in 1950. The introduction of tree snakes has brought about changes to the ecosystem on the island of Guam. What is the best evidence of the change?

The population of lizards on Guam in 1960 was very small.

Several other species of snakes were known to live on Guam before 1950.

The longest brown tree snake ever found on Guam measured three meters in length.

Most of the military bases on Guam were closed in the 1980’s.
