Peninsulas are not always named as such; one can also be a headland, cape, islandp promontory, bill, point, or spit. A point is generally considered a tapering piece of land projecting into a body of water that is less prominentthan a cape.

A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin
FromTheMoon [43]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.

D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

Answer:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

Explanation:

In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.

Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.

juin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

1. Mutualism

2. Competition

3. Commensalism

Explanation:

In an ecosystem the organism interacts with each other in one of the following ways:

1. <u>Competition</u>- interaction occurs when two or more than two species depend on the same resources, sharing the same habitat and niche. These species will fight for the resources and both will be negatively affected.

2. <u>Commensalism-</u> interaction takes place when one organism is benefited while the other is neither harmed nor gained. For example- the interaction between Remora fish and large fish in the ocean.

3. <u>Mutualism</u> -occurs when the species are dependent on each other for the resources and both benefits each other. For example- the plants and birds co-evolved benefiting each other like animals helps in pollination and plants provide nectar to them.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.
