Which of the following criteria have to be met for a species to qualify as invasive? Endemic to the area, spreads rapidly, and displaces foreign species Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces other invasive species Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces native species Endemic to the area, spreads slowly, and displaces native species

Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces native species.

Explanation:

A species is invasive when they were not present in the area before, and once that they are there, they reproduce at a high peace. The fast reproduction rate, which leads to the spread of the species in the area, causes a disbalance in the ecosystem since it eats other species, which are native because they are from that area or other species' food. As a consequence, native species die or are reduced in number because the new species invaded their habitat.

An invasive species is not endemic because they are not native to that particular area. They are always external to this one.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
