An ecosystem that is not sustainable can break down when a natural disaster occurs. This can lead to organisms in the ecosystem

either leaving the area or dying off.
Increased biodiversity results in a more sustainable ecosystem because —
A) a greater number of plant species means that there is less barren land
B) a greater variety of species present allows more organisms to adapt after changes occur
C) the transition area between two ecosystems is narrower
D) there are fewer species to be affected by environmental stresses

The correct answer is: B) a greater variety of species present allows more organisms to adapt after changes occur  

Biodiversity refers to variation at the different levels: genetic, the species, the ecosystem.

When there is high biodiversity in an ecosystem this means that there is a great variety of genes and species in that ecosystem. Ecosystem with such variety is capable to carry out natural processes and to adapt to changes that occur (there will be more species involved in food webs, more plants included in biogeochemical cycles and more genes available for succession and evolution).

Some islands are formed by volcanic eruptions, and the islands provide habitats for many organisms. What is another way volcanic
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Volcanic eruptions help provide fertile soils (Option A)

Explanation:

There have been numerous confirmation of the existence of fertile lands around regions known to have experienced  volcanic activities. The regions around Mount Vesuvius is not an exception even though volcanic activities around the region are over thousands of years ago.

This is because, when Volcano occurred in such regions, it deposited volcanic materials rich in minerals. The materials are then weathered or broken down by the action of water or erosion to release nutrients into the soil.

Which of the following statements is true of selective toxicity?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

c. selective toxicity takes advantage of structural and/or metabolic differences between host and pathogen

Explanation:

Selective toxicity is the mechanism by which antibiotics work. They cause damage to the pathogen but do not harm the host. Hence, they are selectively toxic in their mechanism. They can target both the structural or the metabolic differences between host and pathogen. Many antibiotics target unique sites in the pathogen's structure or the sites which might be present in host cells too but are not essential for the survival of the host. An example of structural difference being targeted by antibiotics is the enzymes which synthesis the bacterial cell wall so that the cell wall is disrupted. A metabolic difference being targeted would be the mechanism by which bacteria replicates so that host cell replication process is not hindered.
