How might a drop in free energy availability affect organisms, populations, and/or ecosystems? Select all that apply.
(1 point)
organisms A drop in free energy would prevent many critical chemical reactions from occurring, leading to metabolic compromise and animal death
populations: Some Individuals would die, but others with mutations would thrive, leading to a better-adapted population.
populations. Autotroph populations would crash, but heterotrophs might flourish.
ecosystems. As individuals and communities crashed, disruption of community-ecosystem symbiosis would lead to ecosystem loss.
ecosystems. Although some individuals may disappear, the entire system will adjust itself and satisfy the needs of the remaining individuals.
