Biology
2 answers:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago

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.

As the minnow population increases in size, how will its rate of growth affect its population density?
irinina [24]
Well as a population grows, resources become scarcer to accommodate for the growing population. So either the Minnows leave to different areas or they fight for the resources. I have finished BIO a few months ago(maybe more idk) so if I’m incorrect I do apologize, but good luck anyway. :)
