The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

What is the role of alveoli in respiration

Burka [1]

Answer:

What is the role of alveoli in respiration ⇔ Alveoli are the place where the exchange of gases takes place. The outer part of alveoli has blood vessels. These vessels are carrying Co2 rich blood to exchange at the alveoli. The O2 from the alveoli is diffused into the blood while co2 is sent into the lungs. That O2 rich blood is then carried to heart to pump it to the whole body. and this process continues. The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

In the energy pyramid below, what would most likely happen to all other levels if a disease killed off all of the rabbits? *

Pavlova-9 [17]

The answer is A. Rabbits eat grass. The snakes eat the rabbits and the hawks eat the snakes. So if rabbits died off, so would the snakes, and the hawks. Because both of their food sources would deplete. And grass would flourish.
