Ecological Concepts Effects A. Herbivory 1. Plants develop chemicals to deter herbivores B. Invasive Species 2. Species introduced without natural predators can spread rapidly C. Chemical Defenses 3. Animals that feed on plants D. Predator Efficiency 4. Overexploitation of prey can lead to predator extinction
Options
- AA - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 4
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- CA - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
- DA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Herbivory involves animals that feed on plants. Invasive species can spread rapidly if introduced without natural predators. Plants develop chemical defenses to deter herbivores, and too efficient predators can lead to their own extinction due to overexploitation of prey.
