Answer 1

In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal of a species will (1 point) **disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.**

This is primarily due to the limited variety of species that can fulfill similar ecological roles, making the ecosystem more vulnerable to disturbances such as species loss.
