Here are the most appropriate responses to your questions:

  1. Which is an extreme disturbance to any ecosystem?

    • Hurricanes (This is typically classified as a significant disturbance due to the potential for widespread destruction.)

  2. When an ecosystem is disturbed by fire or toxic chemicals, it affects:

    • Living things in that ecosystem. (These disturbances typically have widespread effects on all components of the ecosystem.)

  3. In a certain forest ecosystem, there are lions who prey on deer. The deer eat grass. Which of the following would be the consequences of the deer population increasing?

    • The plant population would decrease. (An increase in deer would lead to higher grazing pressure on grass, resulting in a decrease in plant population.)

  4. An example of a severe disruption to an ecosystem is:

    • The loss of a river system due to contamination. (This is a severe and often long-lasting disruption, potentially affecting many species and ecological processes.)

  5. If an ecosystem is irreversibly destroyed, species unable to travel or adapt will:

    • Die out in the area. (If unable to adapt or migrate, these species will face extinction in that location.)
