- A recent United Nations analysis report gathered data on declines in biodiversity across the world. Using the graphs provided, which statement shows an area of concern and is an alternative to the general hypothesis "Humans are responsible for a significant increase in the extinction rate among species in the world today as a result of damage caused to the environment"? A. Fertilizer use in developing countries should be encouraged to decrease the extinction rate B. Decreasing air pollution in the least developed countries would decrease species survival rate C. Protection of key biodiversity areas should be a priority for developed countries to lower the extinction rate D.

Mutualistic nitrogen fixing bacteria can become parasites in soil with low nitrogen availability because of the energy costs to the plant of supporting the bacteria D. A mutualist fish species that feeds on ectoparasites of another fish species, might switch to feeding/removing important host tissue or secretions when ectoparasite abundance is too low.arrow_forwarduppose frogs that hide in the grasses on the edge of a lake are less likely to be eaten by fish, and more likely to reproduce, than frogs that swim in the open lake.
