The biodiversity of the area decreases. The biodiversity of the area stays the same. The biodiversity of the area stays the same. The biodiversity of the area reaches equilibrium. The biodiversity of the area reaches equilibrium. The biodiversity of the area increases. The biodiversity of the area increases. Question 4 A)How is the impact of seasonal flooding different from damming a river?(1 point) Responses Seasonal flooding decreases biodiversity, but damming does not. Seasonal flooding decreases biodiversity, but damming does not. Seasonal flooding does not impact biodiversity for as long term as damming. Seasonal flooding does not impact biodiversity for as long term as damming. Seasonal flooding helps balance biodiversity, but damming does not. Seasonal flooding helps balance biodiversity, but damming does not. Seasonal flooding is not considered an ecological disturbance like damming. Seasonal flooding is not considered an ecological disturbance like damming. Question 5 A)Would a long-term increase in the average temperature of a region be considered a significant disturbance in the ecosystem?(1 point) Responses No, because increases and decreases in average temperatures are normal. No, because increases and decreases in average temperatures are normal. Yes, because such a change could have a large-scale impact on wildlife. Yes, because such a change could have a large-scale impact on wildlife. Yes, because any slight change in temperature is considered a disruption. Yes, because any slight change in temperature is considered a disruption. No, because it would not create large-scale changes in the environment. answer all the questions

Answer 1

Question 1: The function of a top predator in an ecosystem is to maintain other populations.

Question 2: A shark is considered a top predator in the ocean.

Question 3: During normal seasonal flooding, the biodiversity of the area increases.

Question 4: The impact of seasonal flooding is different from damming a river because seasonal flooding does not impact biodiversity for as long term as damming.

Question 5: A long-term increase in the average temperature of a region would be considered a significant disturbance in the ecosystem because such a change could have a large-scale impact on wildlife.
