Why are nonnative species a threat to biodiversity? Check all that apply. They provide more niches for animals to live in. They do not have natural predators to regulate their population growth. They cause the climate in an area to become cooler. They provide food resources to native organisms. They compete with native organisms for resources.

AZ:

Any ideas? Do you know why introducing a new species to an area it doesn't belong is bad?

smurfofficial:

they will die faster

AZ:

mhmm who are you referring to by 'they'

smurfofficial:

the animals

AZ:

which ones? the one that you just brought in or the animals already living there

AZ:

what would happen if this non-native species is an invasive species

smurfofficial:

I dont know :/

AZ:

so invasive species are animals that get introduced to an area that isn't their normal home and then they start to take over killing other animals so what is a problem of introducing animals that don't belong there?

smurfofficial:

They dont adapt

smurfofficial:

it like a kid who changing schools changing states you got to make new friends etc

AZ:

not exactly, in this case it would be like a bully who is now in a new school so now he's going to start to bully all the kids in a new school

smurfofficial:

oh wow okay

AZ:

so what answer choices do you think are correct so far?

SaltTheLoser:

Hmmmm lets say you have a house and inside that house is 3 cats and 1 bowl of food

SaltTheLoser:

Then if you put a dog inside that house with those 3 cats what would happen to the cats if they cant compete with the dog to eat the food

SaltTheLoser:

idk if that makes sense lol let me find another way to explain it

AZ:

that's a good example haha

SaltTheLoser:

But anyway when you put in that dog with those cats it creates competition for the food

SaltTheLoser:

actually i should have done like mice and cats lol then that would give you the answers

SaltTheLoser:

LOL OK CHANGING MY EXPLANATION

smurfofficial:

A and D

SaltTheLoser:

You have a house, which is the environment, and a population of 3 mice. But then the owners get a cat and it starts killing the mice and eats the leftovers left by the people. But the cat will not die because it has no one to kill it-

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @smurfofficial A and D \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no :/

SaltTheLoser:

a is wrong

AZ:

remember, the question is asking why these nonnative species are a THREAT

SaltTheLoser:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @SaltTheLoser You have a house, which is the environment, and a population of 3 mice. But then the owners get a cat and it starts killing the mice and eats the leftovers left by the people. But the cat will not die because it has no one to kill it- \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) read this example

AZ:

huh it should be B and E

SaltTheLoser:

^

AZ:

did it say you got the question correct?

smurfofficial:

They do not have natural predators to regulate their population growth. They compete with native organisms for resources. those was the correct answers

SaltTheLoser:

Yeah B and e lol

smurfofficial:

OH! we all have slow moments

AZ:
