Explain why a species that eats only two species of plants may have a higher probability of becoming endangered than a species that eats ten species of plants?

If species A survive only by eating 2 species of plants, then if any of those plants' population decrease, then Species A would have a severe decrease in food. But if Species B survive on 10 plants, even if all of the numbers of those plants decrease, they still have a wider range to find food. So this is why Species B has the better chance of surviving.

Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?
Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
What is the difference between endangered and extinct animals?
Endangered Species are ones that have a very small population and that population is at a greater risk of becoming extinct. Many species that become extinct never make to the endangered species list. Extinct Species are ones that are either known (documented) to be extinct or are so few in population that a recovery is considered highly unlikely even under excellent conditions.
