ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that
A
change the area and make it safer from predatory organisms
B
invade the area so that new organisms cannot be established
C
modify the area and allow larger and more complex organisms to appear
D
use up all the existing resources and prevent establishment of non-native organisms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both primary and secondary succession begins with pioneer species that9 points.-change the area and make it safer from predatory organisms.-invade the area so that new organisms cannot be established.-modify the area and allow larger and more complex organisms to appear.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession begins with the formation of soil from parent material while secondary succession has soil already present. b. Primary succession begins with large plants like trees while secondary succession begins with shrubs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biology definition: Pioneer species is the first ones to colonize a bare substrate in primary succession while first to colonize a destroyed habitat in secondary succession.

Detailed explanation-4: -Secondary Succession This type of succession is faster because the soil is already in place. In this case, the pioneer species are plants such as grasses, birch trees, and fireweed. Organic matter from the pioneer species improves the soil. This lets other plants move into the area.

Detailed explanation-5: -primary succession newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community. This community becomes more complex as new species arrive.
