An object is round and scaly, similar to a turtle. It responds to touch and appears to grow. The object contains carbon, nitrogen, water, and DNA. It can maintain homeostasis.
yes, it meets all characteristics of life

no, it does not have DNA
Communities have a tendency to change from simple to complex in a process called succession. If a wooded area is cleared and left alone, plants will slowly reclaim the area. Eventually, the area will be transformed into woods again. This kind of succession, which occurs in areas where an existing community has been disturbed, but soil remains, is called
primary succession
secondary succesion
keystone species
prairie succession
Which graph is an example of exponential growth?
Measures the number of species and abundance of each species that live in a particular location.
species diversity
genetic diversity
ecosystem dynamics
climax community
Measures the variety of genes in the biosphere, including variations within a species
species diversity
genetic diversity
ecosystem dynamics
climax community

Which of the following an example of an ABIOTIC factor that could threaten a frog population?
