The changes would occur in plants if all animals became extinct.
Introduction:
Plants and animals benefit each other as members of food chains and ecosystems. The different ways that animals and plants are interdependent in an ecosystem because they depend on each other for basic survival needs like food, protection, shelter and propagation.

- Why do you suppose plants and forests appeared in large numbers before large animals did? Several of the choices may be correct. Select the options you expect to be the strongest contributing factors.Choose one or more: A.The increased oxygen levels produced by land plants accelerated animal evolution. B.Plants were driven to land by scarce resources in the oceans, such as light and minerals. C.Plants had to change less to survive on land. D.It was too cold for animals at first. E.There was not enough oxygen for lungs to be effective before plants colonized land. F.The order was pure chance and could have gone either way. G.Animals need food, and there was none on land before plants. H.Animals are more susceptible to radiation and needed more ozone in order to survive out of the water.arrow_forwardWhy do you suppose plants and forests appeared in large numbers before large animals did?

- Create a diagram illustrating the level of the organizational structure of the Tilapia fish. To begin, you will examine the fish as an organism. What structures did you notice? How are these structures constructed? How might this tilapia contribute to the ecosphere?arrow_forwardImagine a sealed terrarium containing a plant and a beetle. How does each organism provide resources for the other? Could each organism survive if it was the only living thing in the terrarium? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe species diversity of plants (22 per cent) is much less than that ofanimals (72 per cent). What could be the explanations to how animalsachieved greater diversification?arrow_forward
- What does Biodiversity Meanarrow_forwardA principle of biology is that biology affects our society. What is the value of increased biodiversity for human society?arrow_forwardThe reason we are able to fuel our cars and power our cities is due to the absence of certain organisms during the Carboniferous Period. Those organisms, that evolved later, are: O Wood eating animals, like herbavores Wood eating bacteria and fungi Wood eating birds like woodpeckers Wood eating termitesarrow_forward
- Can you think of a situation where we deliberately want to make a species extinct? How would you justify it?arrow_forwardWhat is adaptive Radiation It is when radiation cause mutations It is when animals adapted to solar radiation It is when a species rapidly adapts to many new and open environmentsarrow_forwardWhat is so special about tropics that might account for their greater biological diversity.arrow_forward
