Question

in an a ecosystem with low biodiversity the removal of species will
o disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it
o disturb the ecosystem because another species will take its place
o not affect the ecosystem because another species will take its place
o not affect the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it

Answer 1

In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the most accurate statement regarding the removal of a species is:

**"o disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it."**

In ecosystems with low biodiversity, each species often has a unique role, and the loss of a species can lead to significant disruptions, as other species may not be able to fulfill the same ecological functions or roles. This lack of redundancy means that the loss of a species can lead to more pronounced negative effects on the ecosystem's health and stability.
