I just need to know if i got these right?
1.If we take out parts of our ecosystem, then other parts of it are affected.
A. True
B.False
2.All animals have the same risk of extinction.
A.True
B.False
I think 1 is false
and 2.is true
#1 is quite true. For example, remove wolves from an area, and the deer overpopulate and start starving for lack of food.
#2 is false, as far as I can tell. I doubt that cockroaches run the same risk as grizzly bears. Animals which live in changing habitat and cannot adapt run a much higher risk of extinction.
Is that an auto vulgarity filter at work? False positive! Still, it does reflect my general opinion of roaches.
I'm sorry, Steve, but our filtering software doesn't distinguish between single words and compound words. One way around it is to put spaces between letters. R O A C H E S
I would say that both 1 and 2 are true.
1: For example: remove all plants from an ecosystem. Herbivores and most insects would quickly die off, followed by carnivores and insectivores and so on until there is nothing left.
2: No organism is safe from extinction, there are just some that are a little safer than others. Roaches for example are very common but if there was a disease that only affected roaches it could completly wipe out the species. This is currently being seen in Tasmanian Devils. A great example is the passenger pigeon. Before it went extinct it was one of the most common bird species seen in the U.S. It was quickly hunted to extinction because they relied on their flocks that could contain thousands of birds. Once a flock was hunted to around the last 500 the rest of the flock could not survive and they quickly died off. t has been seen in many other animals throughout history from climate change, predation, over population, and disaster. Nothing can survive forever.
To determine if your answers are correct, let's analyze each question:
1. "If we take out parts of our ecosystem, then other parts of it are affected."
Your answer: False
The correct answer is: True
Explanation: When parts of an ecosystem are disrupted or removed, it can have a ripple effect on other parts of the ecosystem. This is because various species within an ecosystem rely on each other for food, shelter, and other resources. For example, if a predator species is removed, it can lead to an overpopulation of its prey species, which can then have negative effects on the vegetation and other organisms further down the food chain.
2. "All animals have the same risk of extinction."
Your answer: True
The correct answer is: False
Explanation: Not all animals have the same risk of extinction. The risk of extinction varies depending on various factors, including population size, habitat availability, reproductive rates, and vulnerability to environmental changes or human activities. Some animals may be more resilient and have larger populations, making them less susceptible to extinction, while others may have smaller populations and face higher risks due to various threats such as habitat loss, pollution, or hunting.
Based on the correct answers, your initial answers were incorrect. The correct answers are:
1. A. True
2. B. False
