Question

Why are invasive species such a huge threat to ecosystems?(1 point)

Invasive species provide no added benefit or diversity to the ecosystem.

Invasive species can do intense damage, so much so that ecosystems may not be able to recover.

Invasive species are impossible to control once they are introduced and spread rapidly.

Invasive species can replace native species, forcing their migration out of the area.

Answer 1

"Invasive species can do intense damage, so much so that ecosystems may not be able to recover."

They can alter food webs, outcompete or prey on native species, change habitat structure or nutrient cycles, and sometimes cause long-term or irreversible ecosystem shifts.
