How do you know an ecosystem is sustainable?

If the species continues to grow and reproduce offspring. If an ecosystem wasnt sustainable then is would become extinct over time.


Since species within ecosystem depend on one another, why don’t populations of species continuously grow?

As population size approaches The carrying Capacity Of the environment,the intensity Of density- dependent Factors Increases


What is the disorder in which some of the bodys cells grow uncontrollably?

The disease is cancer


How does a food chain maintains the balance of an ecosystem?

In a ecosystem, food chain plays a major role.The predators fuction in the ecosystem as:1) They help in transferin energy from organisms.eg. The plant receives 10,000 J of energy from the sun. The herbivorous or primary consumers consume it with a 10 % loss i.e, they receive only 100 J of energy.2) They help in maintaing the balance of the ecosystem.If the predators are absent, the species they consume will grow large in number and there will be competition between the same species which will cause an imbalance in the ecosystem.eg. If the tigers become extinct and there is no other species to predate on the deers, the deer species will become large in number and there will be competition between the same species for food and habitat.So, food chain plays a major role in maintaing the baance of an ecosystem.


Why are species critical to the survival of an ecosystem?

Plants: They are needed to produce oxgen, and feed the herbavores. Prey: They feed on plants, and feed the predators. Predators: To eat the prey, and get eaten by greator predators You see, everything is needed to have a stable ecosystem. Now you must put into consideration, that if a lower part of the chain is smaller than the larger part, then the ecosystem would fail. You need more plants than herbavores, you need more prey for predators. It is a large cycle.

Why are wolves important for an ecosystem balance?

because if they went there, the population below it on the food chain would over grow and eat out the species below it and the whole ecosystem would colapse.


Are all non-native species invasive?

yes, they are because if they are brought into a place where they originally don't grow they will thrive in there new habitat and disrupt the ecosystem for the non invasive species.

How protecting one species could preserve an entire ecosystem?

An ecosystem s a complex web of interacting living things that have evolved to be in balance with one another. Remove one of the components and the whole ecosystem ceases to work (eg remove the predators and the herbivores numbers will grow unchecked until they have eaten ALL the plants). The activities of man frequently remove one species form ecosystems and protecting these means that the whole ecosystem benefits.

How do cancer cells behave inside the human body?

Cancer cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. Although cancer cells can be quite common in a person they are only malignant when the other cells (particularly natural killer cells) fail to recognize and/or destroy them.
