The response with a large impact on the environment would be:

**a population of robins die**

This is because the death of a whole population affects the ecosystem more significantly than the death of a single bird or an abandoned nest. It can lead to changes in the food web, disruptions in pollination, and impacts on other species that rely on robins for various ecological roles.

The correct ranking of the ecological levels of organization in ascending order is:

**individual → population → community → ecosystem**

This order reflects the hierarchy from the smallest unit (individual) to larger systems (population, community, and ultimately ecosystem).
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**fluctuating slightly over time.**

Even when an ecosystem is at carrying capacity, it can experience regular environmental changes and fluctuations in population sizes due to factors like resource availability, climate variations, and interactions with other species. This results in slight fluctuations rather than a constant or exponential growth.

The correct definition of population is:

**all members of a particular species in a specific area at a certain time.**

This definition emphasizes that a population consists of individuals of the same species that live in a defined geographic area during a specific period.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The trait that makes the monarch butterfly a specialist is:

**The caterpillars only eat milkweed plants.**

This specialization means that the caterpillars have a specific dietary requirement, relying exclusively on milkweed for food, which distinguishes them from generalist species that can feed on a wider variety of plants.
