Answer:
They remain in an environment,even as more competitive species arrive
Explanation:
Pioneer species, in ecological succession, are the first set of organisms to colonize a bare area of land or a disturbed area of land. Pioneer species include lichens, grasses, fungi etc.
Pioneer species have unique characteristics that distinguishes them from every other species of organism. These include:
- They facilitate environmental change, making an environment more habitable for other species.
- They tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.
- They are capable of colonizing a barren environment, as in primary succession.
However, pioneer species do not remain in an environment, even as more competitive species arrive. They rather give way for new species to emerge and dominate.
Matter can be recycled, but energy cannot. Also, only 10% of the energy is passed through each trophic level.
Answer:
The correct option is D. analogous
Explanation:
We speak of an analogy when one structure is similar to another or has the same function, but whose embryonic development and its origin or ancestor is not common, they are different, in other words, they are analogous structures if they fulfill functions or acquire similar characteristics starting from the same medium, without requiring them to have the same evolutionary origin (they may or may not be similar structurally and embryologically).
