Answer: C - introduction of an unchecked invasive species.

E- massive flooding.

Explanation:

The catastrophic event can be define as the event which can cause huge damage to the living and non-living factors of the ecosystem. It can make the environment unsuitable for the survival of the living beings and can become the cause of mass extinction.

C is the correct option because the introduction of invasive species can reduce the population of members of the native species if the invasive species compete with the native species for resources.

E is the correct option because the massive flood will wiped out the living beings and can destroy the landscape and property of the region where it occurs.

Anastasy [175]

I think, Lipogenesis is a common for organic molecules because the intermediate Acetyl-CoA is formed in most metabolic processes. Lipogenesis involves the formation of fatty acids from Acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is an intermediate stage in metabolism of simple sugars, such as glucose, which is the preferred source of energy for most living organisms.
