Biology
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]2 years ago

Answer:

An invasive species is an introduced organism that becomes overpopulated and negatively alters its new environment. Although their spread can have beneficial aspects, invasive species adversely affect the invaded habitats and bioregions, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage.

To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region. Many invasive species are introduced into a new region accidentally

A keystone species is an organism that helps define an entire ecosystem. Without its keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. ... Any organism, from plants to fungi, may be a keystone species; they are not always the largest or most abundant species in an ecosystem

An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous, or native, to a particular area. Invasive species can cause great economic and environmental harm to the new area.

In Alaska, grizzly bears must eat 10 fish and drink up to 25 liters of water to live. A
EleoNora [17]

The fish is the limiting factor because its population <u>determines the survival and availability  of the grizzly bears.</u>

A limiting factor is  resources(biotic or abiotic) that affects or determine the availabity and growth of an organism or group of an organism within an ecosystem.

The more fish it takes, the more the liver produces urea, and kidney tubules  makes use of the urea in it tubules for urine formation in the loop of Henle. The urine formation and loss, leads to intake of water and the sequence continues.

This is an example of a biological limiting factor because the bear  predate on the fish for survival and population.

If the population of the fish drops,( <u>the limiting facto</u>r) the bear drinks less water based on above, and therefore <u>disruptions  of the ecosystem</u>.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope, some antelope are killed and some escape. Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selec
Rufina [12.5K]

According to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, each generation produces more individuals than the ecosystem can sustain. However, not all individuals are identical and phenotypical variation exists.

Due to this variation, some antelopes are better at escaping lions, perhaps due to speed and/or stamina. Thus, the individuals that are slower and thus less fit will be killed and eliminated from the herd. The antelopes with heritable traits that makes them better suited to the environment, will escape and thus, survive and reproduce.

In Darwin's Theory predation is an evolutionary force.
