How do lichens contribute to primary succession?

Lichens begin to break down rock to form soil

Lichens decompose organic matter from animals and plants

Lichens are nitrogen fixing bacteria

Lichens convert carbohydrates into fossil fuels.

After a volcanic eruption, lava covers the land. What is the order that plants grow to repopulate the area?

Lichens → Grasses → Shrubs → Trees

Lichens → Shrubs → Grasses → Trees

Lichens → tree → shrubs→Grasses

Grasses → Lichens → Shrubs → Trees

storage area for cells; water storage in plants

They actually do not have an important role

Which adaptation (for the underlined animal) serves the function of defense?

A porcupine’s quills cause a predator to seek another meal.

A walking stick looks like the twig on which it rests.

A whale filters plankton and krill from the water in which it swims.

A penguin is dark on top and white below to blend in with the water.

Which of the following is a physical adaptation for the underlined animal?

A butterfly has bright colors to warn predators that it is poisonous.

A hognose snake rolls over, slows its breathing, and hangs its tongue out to play dead.

A herd of buffalo encircle their young to protect them from a pack of wolves.

A dung beetle rolls a piece of dung across the desert.

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

Biodiversity is important to keep an area (biome) healthy. In this example "Food Web A" is sustainable. Why is sustainability important for an ecosystem in "Food Web A".

If one organism is removed the food web can still operate (work) with little or no negative effect.

If an organism is removed the food web will collapse and will affect the environment.

Food Web B is an example of...

Low biodiversity and low sustainability. If the producer dies then all the food web will suffer.

High biodiversity and high sustainability. If an organism is removed the food web will continue with no effect.
