Help answer the following

HI~ I hope this helps

(these answers were hand-written meaning I did not copy and paste so, feel free to use the answers freely)

1.

When ecosystems change rapidly the fundamental environmental cycles such as the circulation of water, carbon and nutrients can change as ecosystems depend on them. The usage of factors such as freshwater, carbon dioxide emissions and fertilizer provides a large benefit to humas therefore meaning, that large and rapid changes to an ecosystem could also effect the things we as humans rely on.

2.

Complex organic matter is broken down by decomposers into carbon dioxide, water etc. The ecosystem is affected based upon the fact that the decomposition of organic matter that is produced by plants, animals and soil organisms is an important process which affects the different important ecosystem processes like nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration.

3. (could have two answers- I recommend the second)

Adaptation- due to the mutation process which results in changes in the structure and function of organisms, these ecosystems would be different as well as unique. The organisms which possesses the traits needed to adapt could then survive as its unique characteristics due to mutation would provide a strong ability

Rise in temperature- If the temperature located on earth was to rise, organisms would have a higher living rate as bacterial life flourishes in warmer temperatures and dies out in colder ones.

4.

~The rapid change of increased food production provides better life sustainability to those living in the ecosystem.

~The rapid change in a large increasing number of organisms could be helpful as they often live of off one another.

5.

~Rapid growth of things such as phytoplankton which cause dead zones are harmful to the ecosystem. Dead zones create zones where too much oxygen is consumed resulting in areas where plants and sea life can no longer survive.

~Whereas the rapid increase of organisms could also be harmful to an ecosystem as the possibility of the organism outnumbering the food sources could become prominent.

What are the three types of interactions between organisms in an ecosystem

matrenka [14]

Interactions may be commensalism, mutualism, or parasitism.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail. They wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually

lubasha [3.4K]

A hypothesis is a claim that expresses a relationship between variables. D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified, that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, but not a fact. It is a claim of how it works a relationship between two or more variables.

The researcher hypothesizes in order to predict what is going on or what is expected to occur.

A hypothesis must express what is expected to occur in a perfectly comprehensive manner. There must be a logical relationship between the involved variables. It must be objective. Usually, it is written in the present time.

There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative.

In the exposed example, researchers wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually was more beneficial for the snails.

Options,

A) <em>Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. </em>

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that the risk of mutation is lower.

B) <em>Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.</em>

<em />

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that a higher number of descendants are produced, which increases reproductive success.

C) Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that it increases genetic variation.

D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that there is no need for social interaction.

Social interaction does not really benefit snails as a species. This is not a variable that might influence in a significant way snails.

However, variables like the mutation rate, variability, and the number of descendants are useful to test how they benefit or not the snails.

The hypotheses that would least likely aid the scientists to answer the question is <u>option D</u>.
