Population and Ecosystems Unit Test 1 of 131 of 13 Items Question Three bird species share a habitat. Bird A eats insects and plant seeds. Bird B drinks flower nectar. Bird C eats plant seeds. A drought occurs in their habitat, and that season’s plants are wiped out entirely. What is the likely outcome for each type of bird? (1 point) Responses Bird A survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird A survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird A survives; both birds B and C die. Bird A survives; both birds B and C die. Bird B survives; either bird A or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird B survives; either bird A or bird C dies, and the other survives. Bird B survives; both birds A and C die.

Bird A survives; both birds B and C die.

Bird A, which eats insects and plant seeds, will likely be able to find other food sources to survive the drought. However, birds B and C, which rely on specific food sources such as flower nectar and plant seeds, will likely not be able to find enough food to survive and may die as a result of the drought.
