State one possible negative impact of importing a natural predator to control a pest

Biology
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
8 0
One negative impact or consequence of importing a natural predator to control pests is that the predator may begin feeding on economically important plant and animal species that were not the target of control. An example is the introduction of mongooses in Hawaii. Sugar cane farmers intentionally introduced mongooses to Hawaii in attempt to bring down the rat population that had risen as result of being attracted by sugar cane. Where sugar cane grows, rats flourish because they love eating the sweet cane. But since rats feed during the night and mongooses feed during the day, the two never met, rather it is the birds in Hawaii that fell prey to the mongooses. The mongooses have wreaked havoc on the bird population creating an ecological disaster.

Which of the following is not important in determining the distribution of organisms in aquatic biomes? A. light penetration B.
Vlada [557]

Answer: Option C) water

Explanation:

The factors affecting the distribution of organisms in aquatic biomes include:

- Light penetration: Plants life is limited to the upper layers of the ocean where light cab penetrate and be used to produce food. Thus, very few organisms are found in the ocean deep.

- Waves: the movement of surface water of the oceans, and it's direction affect the placement of organisms as they must have strong anchor or body parts suited for buoyancy

- salinity: not all organisms can survive in water with high salt content. Thus, some live in salty water, and others in fresh water or the mixture.

- Mineral content: the levels of hydrogen ion could make a water bidy alkaline or acidic thus affecting organism that can survive in it

Thus, since water ordinarilly is Universal, it is not an important factor in determining distribution of organisms in aquatic biomes
