What factors can affect animal populations?

Back

Factors include food availability, predation, disease, habitat loss, and climate conditions.

Front

What is the role of predators in an ecosystem?

Back

Predators help control the population of prey species, maintaining balance in the ecosystem.

Front

How does an increase in food supply affect animal populations?

Back

An increase in food supply can lead to population growth as more individuals can survive and reproduce.

Front

What is an algae bloom and how does it affect aquatic life?

Back

An algae bloom is a rapid increase in algae in water bodies, which can reduce oxygen levels and harm aquatic life.

Front

What is the significance of biodiversity in an ecosystem?

Back

Biodiversity contributes to ecosystem resilience, stability, and the ability to recover from disturbances.

Front

How do environmental changes impact species adaptation?

Back

Species may adapt to environmental changes through natural selection, leading to evolutionary changes over time.

Front

What is the relationship between wolves and moose in an ecosystem?

Back

Wolves are predators of moose; changes in wolf populations can directly affect moose populations.

Front

What is ecological succession?

Back

Ecological succession is the process by which ecosystems change and develop over time, often following a disturbance.

Front

What is the impact of deforestation on wildlife?

Back

Deforestation can lead to habitat loss, decreased biodiversity, and increased competition for resources among remaining species.
