Answer 4

This is where the link sends me. I guess I'm not supposed to get into your account, haha

Answer 5

I'd say an increase in population due to more habitat. I'm not really entirely sure about this one, but I think you can rule out C and D, since the focus seems to be on habitat.

Answer 6

WELL I HAVE TO PICK ONE

Answer 7

Which claim about changes in biodiversity in the San Joaquin Valley is supported by the information in Figure 1?

A. Biodiversity has increased because of the expansion of agriculture.


B. Biodiversity has increased because woodlands have been removed.


C. Biodiversity has decreased because species have migrated out of the valley


D. Biodiversity has decreased because a variety of habitats have been reduced

Answer 8

Oh definitely D here. Figure 1 shows that over time several habitats have been replaced with agricultural land. That means there are fewer different types of habitats, which would decrease biodiversity.

Answer 9

Which statement best explains why biodiversity is important for all life on Earth?

A. Low biodiversity prevents the loss of species by increasing the types of organisms that can live in one area


B. High biodiversity tends to stabilize an ecosystem by reducing the rate at which species become extinct


C. High biodiversity changes an ecosystem by reducing the survival rate of all but the individuals best suited to an area


D. Low biodiversity results in stable ecosystems by increasing competition for resources among individuals.

Answer 10

What is the answer for 1 ?

Answer 11

Well, biodiversity is important because it stabilizes the environment and decreases the rate at which animals go extinct.
For the first question, I'd say B, a decrease in population due to habitat loss.

Answer 12

that was B on this one ?

Answer 13

Yeah

Answer 14

Which human intervention would most likely protect and maintain kit fox populations?

A. Move kit foxes to areas with large populations of similar mammals.


B. Move kit foxes to sparsely populated mountainous regions.


C. Protect grasslands and prairies from development.


D. Introduce a species that could be a new kit fox food source.
