The plants need to survive the year-round dry conditions.
The plants need to be able to grow in the moist, humid air.
Plants in the tundra have small and thin leaves that are wax-covered to prevent water loss due to the harsh and cold, dry climate conditions. Hence, "The plants need to survive the year-round dry conditions" is the correct option.

Sheets of ice that once covered an area melt away, exposing a layer of rock.
A small pond dries up, leaving behind moist soil.
Primary succession most likely occurs when sheets of ice that once covered an area melt away, exposing a layer of rock, as it creates a new surface for organisms to establish themselves, and the process of colonization starts from scratch. Therefore, the correct option is "Sheets of ice that once covered an area melt away, exposing a layer of rock."
Which statement describes a difference between primary and secondary succession?(1 point)

Secondary succession supports a more limited number of organisms than primary succession.
Secondary succession supports a more limited number of organisms than primary succession.
Primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms than secondary succession.
A difference between primary and secondary succession is that primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms compared to secondary succession. This is because primary succession starts from bare-rock, so soil needs to be formed, and a diverse group of pioneer species build the ecosystem. On the other hand, secondary succession starts from an existing community, and so the rebuilding process is quicker. Secondary succession results in a less biodiverse community since some plants and animals that were present in the previous community may not be able to recolonize the disturbed ecosystem. Therefore, the correct option is "Primary succession supports a greater variety of organisms than secondary succession."

Algae and polyps have a mutualistic relationship, where they both benefit from each other. Specifically, algae provide food for the polyps through photosynthesis. The correct option is, therefore: "The polyps get most of their food from the algae."

The algae become pale.
The algae are susceptible to infection.
When the temperature in the ocean becomes too hot, the algae become pale, as too much heat causes stress to the algae, and loss of pigmentation occurs. This phenomenon is known as coral bleaching, and it leads to a reduction in food production for associated organisms like polyps. Hence, the correct option is "The algae become pale."
Imagine that an ecosystem contains rabbits, foxes, wolves, and deer. The following predator-prey relationships exist:

Deer are eaten by wolves

In this ecosystem consisting of rabbits, foxes, wolves, and deer, the absence of the wolf would have the greatest negative effect on the ecosystem. Wolves are at the top (apex) of the food chain, and their role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem is crucial. With the disappearance of wolves, the population sizes of other species (especially the herbivores) will increase, leading to overgrazing, a reduction in plant biodiversity, and subsequently, the collapse of the entire ecosystem. Therefore, the correct option is "wolf."

not affect the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal (extinction) of a species would disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it. This is because if the ecosystem has low biodiversity, it might be unable to support another species to fill in the gap created by the extinct one. This often leads to a chain reaction that affects the entire ecosystem. Therefore, the correct option is "disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it."
