Two species of leaf-eating lizards (species A and B) have coexisted on an isolated island for more than 10,000 years. In 1964, a

third species of leaf-eating lizard (species C) was accidentally introduced by humans visiting the island. The graph below shows the population sizes of the three species since that time:
Explain the pattern of population density observed in species C. Describe the effect that the introduction of species C had on both species A and B.

Answer:

well from what i can see based on the data in the graph is that, since the accidental introduction of species 3 the population of the other 2 species has decreased quite a bit. While you can also observe that the population of population 3 continues to grow.

This suggests 3 possibilities to me

possibility 1. species 3 is consuming leaves just like the other 2 species causing a scarcity in food.

possibility 2. species 3 is consuming the other 2 species causing the decrease in population.

possibility 3. species 3 and the other species may be fighting over shelter, food, or water, causing more lizard fatalities.

HELP PLS/ A large bottle with a layer of mud on the bottom is filled with pond water. Several fish and some green plants are the
motikmotik

Answer: C: Decomposers

Explanation: The mud and pond water likely contain some sort of <em>decomposing bacteria</em>. These bacteria can break down the complex nitrogen compounds in the dead fish, <em>producing simple nitrogen compounds.</em> These simple nitrogen compounds can then be used by the plants added to the terrarium.

A is wrong because <u>producers (such as the green plants added to the terrarium) can not break down the complex nitrogen compounds</u> in the fish's body.

B is wrong for a similar reason. <em>Algae are primary producers.</em> Because of this <u>they also lack the ability to break down the complex nitrogen compounds</u> found in the fish's body.

D is also wrong. A virus may be able to infect the fish and cause disease, but <u>it lacks the ability to break down the complex nitrogen compounds </u>found in the fish's dead body.

Since A, B, and D are wrong, along with the fact that we know that decomposers <em>can</em> break down the complex nitrogen compounds in the dead fish, we can conclude that C is the correct answer.

What top predator would hurt the most if something destroyed all the grass?​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

That would be a Cheetah because they need grass to blend in with their environment so they can hunt gazelles, hares, and impalas. The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population. trophic cascade, and in extreme cases, can lead to the complete destruction of the ecosystem.
