Which statement best describes a keystone species

Biology
2 answers:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option D,  it has a strong influence on the ecosystem

Explanation:

Keystone species are an essential part of an ecosystem and their functions/mark cannot be replaced by any other organism. Once the keystone species is removed from an ecosystem, the ecosystem struggles to sustain  or it changes radically. A keystone species in majority of ecosystems/food web is a predator but this is not true in all ecosystems/or with all keystone species.  

For example – there was a trophic cascade when the Gray wolves in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem were removed.

The answer is D

One way to remember this is when you are building a bridge there is one piece right in the middle that keeps the whole thing from collapsing that is called the key-stone. If a keystone species goes extinct then the rest of the ecosystem will crumble around it.

What is the difference between causal and correlation relationships?
ahrayia [7]

correlation relationships are between variables, however,it does not automatically mean that the change in one variable is the cause of the change in the values of the other variable. Causation indicates that one event is the result of the occurrence of the other event there is a causal relationship between the two events.

Hope this helps let me know if this was what you were asking for.

Kryger [21]
The correct answer is A, parathyroid gland.

The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland which <span>inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts,</span> reduces the calcium output by the kidneys and promotes absorption of the calcium by the small intestines. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland, also works to a similar effect.
