Question

Which of the following can reduce biodiversity within a natural environment?

A. Giant kangaroo rats enrich the soil for plants with their piles of grass clippings in the California grasslands.
B. Grasslands in the California Floristic Province have been converted into housing projects, shopping centers, and roads.
C. Acacia trees of Central and South America provide food for stinging ants, while the stinging ants sting other insects on the trees.
D. In Japan, hummingbird hawk moths drink nectar from a species of flowering plants and transfer the plants' pollen to other flowering plants of the same species.

Answer 1

The answer is B. NOT C. Because the Acacia trees are providing food for the ants and the ants protect the tree from other insects!

A Symbiotic Relationship!

Answer 2

The answer is either b or c because bio means life and diversity means different and the ants stinging other insects get rid of a population and maybe another species lives off of the species that ant killed.
When the grasslands are converted into housing projects it gets rid of everything so no trees no animals and no diversity of living organisms other than humans
