How does mass extinction affect species that survive?

Biology

The mass extinction may cause the arrival of new species in the new and changing environment.

Further Explanation:

Mass extinction is the phenomenon when there is the extinction of many organisms or the group of an organism from the Earth due to change in environmental condition as it would not allow the survival of these organisms in the new environmental condition. This may cause the appearance of a new organism or the spread of mutant organisms in the prevailing environment that may play new roles. Hence new kind of ecosystem may be formed in the changing environment and those organisms that survive or get adapted to this condition may reproduce more and increase in number.

Therefore mass extinction although causes removal of some organism but may provide a new platform for the arrival of new kind of species and formation of a new ecosystem.

<span>When there is a mass extinction, species that survive will combine gene pools. A gene pool is the sum of population of same species have the same genetic material. Those species that survived will combine for them to survive from extinction. If there is a combination of gene pool then there will be a possibility that evolution will happen</span>

Which situation results from increased biodiversity in an ecosystem
Nastasia [14]

The correct answer is - increased competition.

If an ecosystem experiences an increase in its biodiversity, than the result of it would be increased competition. The increased competition will be for food sources, water sources, territory. The reason why increased competition will occur is that there are only limited mounts of food sources, water sources, and territory in the ecosystem. There's also certain amount of niches in the ecosystem, and once all of them are occupied by some species, any other that is specialized for that niche will be competitor plus. This increased competition will lead to high evolutionary pressure, which will result in relatively quick adaptations and specialization in order to survive.

Pepsin is an enzyme found in the human stomach that breaks down protein. Pepsin will not break down starch.
Andre45 [30]

The statement which best explains why Pepsin will not break down starch is that enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is referred to as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body by lowering the activation energy needed to start it up. it is also proteinous and can be denatured by heat and other substance such as chemicals.

They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance. For example enzyme such as amylase acts on only starch while pepsin acts on only protein.
