Answer:

D) only II, III, and IV

Explanation:

Green plants perform the process of photosynthesis. During this process, molecular oxygen is produced in the light-dependent phase. This by-product of photosynthesis is released by plants into the air. This is how oxygen balance is maintained in the air.

During soil formation, the litter produced by plants is decomposed by the soil microbes. This adds organic matter and makes the soil fertile. Plants are one of the biotic factors responsible to trigger the process of soil formation.

Wetlands connect the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and hold the excess of the water when the rivers overflow. Therefore, the presence of wetlands store the excess water and return it to the rivers or other aquatic bodies later and control floods.

Identify the interaction used to describe each type of interdependence among organisms.
GalinKa [24]

The interaction between red-billed oxpecker and impala is mutualism. The interaction between titan triggerfish and smaller fishes is commensalism.

<h3>Mutualism and Commensalism</h3>

Mutualism is a form of symbiotic interaction between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the interaction without being negatively affected in any way.

Commensalism, on the other hand, is a form of interaction between two organisms in which one (the commensal) gains and the other neither benefits nor lose from the interaction.

The red-billed oxpecker gets its food off the fur of the Impala. The tick that serves as food for red-billed oxpecker is a parasite that harms the impala. Thus, the red-billed oxpecker gets its food while the impala gets the ticks that can harm it removed. A mutually beneficial relationship.

The activities of the Titan triggerfish benefit smaller fishes. The Titan triggerfish neither benefits nor gets harmed in the interaction. A form of commensalism.

Which country's colonists maintained a profitable fur trade in North America
Tom [10]

Answer:

The North American fur trade was an industry and activity related to the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Native Americans in the United States of various regions traded among themselves in the pre–Columbian Era. Europeans participated in the trade from the time of their arrival in the New World, extending the trade's reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada during the 17th century, while the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. North American fur trade was at its peak of economic importance in the 19th century, and involved the development of elaborate trade networks.

The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and consequently lost much of the political influence they once had.
