Answer 1

A species was added into a particular ecosystem to control the population of a prey species. This method of introducing a new species is called a. biological augmentation.

The population of the added species increased, leading to an imbalance in the ecosystem. This increase happened because a. the competition for resources increased in the ecosystem.

Answer 2

1. The right answer is bioremediation

Bioremediation is a technique of increasing biodegradation or biotransformation by inoculating specific microorganisms (bioaugmentation) or by stimulating the activity of native microbial populations by biostimulation, nutrient supply and environmental conditions ( oxidation-reduction potential, humidity).

2. The right answer is a.the competition for resources increased in the ecosystem.

In the field of biology, the competitive relationship is the rivalry between living species for access to the limited resources of the environment. It is part of biotic factors and therefore of relationships between living beings. It can be interspecific (between members of different species) as it can be intraspecific (between members of the same species).
