Answer:
<em>The United States population consumes too large a portion of the world's resources due to relatively affluent lifestyles.</em>
Explanation:
The United States is known to be the most powerful country in the world and due to being such powerful, the lifestyle here is versatile and more affluent. As the country is rich, people tend to use resources beyond their needs. More resources are wasted in this country as the country has an adequate supply of almost everything. Hence, it is rightly argued that there is a serious consumption problem in the United States.
The correct answer is - B. The number and type of plants in an ecosystem determines the number and type of consumers that can live there.
The plants are producers. They are the basis of the ecosystems on Earth. By consuming the plants, the consumers are able to survive and thrive, thus the food chain develops further up to the predators that are consuming other consumers.
The number of plants and the type of plants determines what type and how many species of consumers can live somewhere. The more plants there are, the more food for the consumers, thus there will be more consumers. The higher the diversification of the plants, the higher the diversification of the consumers will be too, as every plant is unique and specialization for consuming it is needed, thus the consumers will evolve into new species in accordance to the food source.
