Use for Review
A freshwater pond ecosystem is home to a variety of organisms, including algae, insects, small fish, frogs, and birds. Over several years, pollution from nearby farms causes many insect species to die off. As insect populations decline, the fish that feed on them also decrease, and algae begin to grow uncontrollably.

The ecosystem becomes more stable because fewer species compete for resources.

The loss of insects disrupts food webs, making the ecosystem less stable.

The decrease in biodiversity only affects insects and has little impact on other organisms.

lgae growth increases biodiversity and improves ecosystem balance.

1

Fewer plant species make it easier for animals to find food

Predators leave the ecosystem because there is too much grass

Grasslands naturally have low biodiversity and remain stable

The loss of plant diversity reduces available resources and disrupts food webs

1

Extinction only affects the species that disappears and has no impact on the ecosystem

Extinction increases available resources for remaining species

Extinction decreases biodiversity, disrupting food webs and reducing ecosystem stability

Ecosystems quickly adapt and become more stable after extinction events
