More species will thrive due to the increased temperature since it is easier to survive in warm climates

Species that live in cold areas will die, but those that live in warm areas will all survive and become more abundant

The most accurate response to the effect of global warming on biodiversity is:
Many species are likely to become extinct as ecosystems disappear, such as Arctic ice and coral reefs.
Global warming leads to habitat loss and changing environmental conditions, which can endanger many species and disrupt ecosystems. While some species may adapt or thrive in warmer climates, the overall trend suggests a significant threat to biodiversity due to the loss of critical habitats.
All of the following factors can affect the carrying capacity of the pond for the fish species:
Each of these factors can influence the health and sustainability of the fish population in the pond, determining how many individuals the ecosystem can support over time.
Yes, I am sure. All of the factors listed can indeed affect the carrying capacity of the pond for the fish species. Here’s a brief explanation of how each factor plays a role:
Dissolved Oxygen supply: Fish need oxygen to survive. If the dissolved oxygen levels are too low, it can limit the fish population.
Food supply: The availability of food resources directly impacts the growth and reproduction rates of the fish.
Predators: The presence of predators can decrease the fish population and thus affect the carrying capacity.
Disease: Outbreaks of disease can lead to higher mortality rates among the fish, reducing the population and affecting carrying capacity.
Space: Limited space can lead to competition for resources and can restrict the population size.
Human activities: Pollution, habitat destruction, overfishing, and other human actions can significantly alter the ecosystem, affecting the carrying capacity.
Therefore, selecting all these factors is correct, as they all contribute to determining the capacity of the pond to support its fish population.
Based on your choice of the bobcat and the domestic cat as the two animals that are most closely related, here’s how to support your response:
Bobcat and Domestic Cat
To support your response, you could include evidence such as:
Taxonomic Classification: If the chart includes information about the taxonomic classification, it likely shows that both the bobcat and the domestic cat belong to the same family (Felidae) and possibly even the same genus (Lynx for bobcats and Felis for domestic cats).
Genetic Similarities: If the chart provides any genetic relatedness data (like percentage of shared DNA), you could mention that the bobcat and domestic cat share a higher percentage of genetic material compared to other animals listed in the chart.
Evolutionary Lineage: If there is information about their evolutionary history or common ancestors, you can mention that bobcats and domestic cats share a more recent common ancestor compared to other animals on the chart.
Make sure to reference specific data if available in the chart for a stronger argument. If you have access to any concrete figures or descriptions from the chart, including those would make your argument even more robust.
The bobcat and domestic cat are most closely related because they both belong to the Felidae family and share a recent common ancestor. Evidence from the chart indicates that they have a higher percentage of genetic similarity compared to the other animals listed.
In a population of snowy plovers that is increasing in size, the birth rate (number of eggs hatched) is higher than the death rate. This means that more snowy plover chicks are successfully hatching and surviving than the number of adults dying, allowing the population to grow.
