there is no soil yet.
the plants grow on rock.
the plants grow in the soil
there is no plant growth
With secondary succession:
there is no soil yet.
the plants grow on rock.
the plants grow in the soil

What do primary and secondary succession have in common?
They change the area to make it safe.
They keep new organisms from growing.
They modify the area to allow more complex plants to grow there.
They use up all of the existing resources and prevent non-native species from growing there.

How does biodiversity contribute to sustainability of an ecosystem?
More varieties of plants and animals makes it a better place to live.
Fewer varieties of plants and animals makes it a better place to live.
Fewer varieties of plants and animals makes it a less desirable place to live.
Biodiversity does not help sustain an ecosystem.
The word "sustain" means to:
strengthen or support
have the ability to reproduce
start the process of ecological succession
naturally select organisms to breed with
