• is not growing
• is the cause of environmental problems
• is decreasing because the death rate is bigger than the birth rate

• greenhouse gas emissions
• oil spills
• all of these

A negative (bad) consequence (effect) of deforestation is

• recycle energy to be used by other organisms
• cause habitats to be destroyed
• recycle materials to be used by other organisms
• decrease greenhouse gas emissions

Nutrients are recycled into ecosystems so

• dead organismas don't pile up
• farmers use pesticides and fertilizers
• mining is easier
• living organisms absorb toxins

Invasive species are a problem because

• they have no natural predators in their new ecosystem
• they compete with native species for limited resources
• all of these
• they decrease the biodiversity of an ecosystem
