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

Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological succession is of two types: Primary and Secondary Succession. In both the successions, the pioneer species modify the area and allow larger and more complex organisms to appear. Therefore, the correct option is C.

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: -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-4: -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-5: -Primary succession occurs in an area that has never before been colonized. Pioneer species include bacteria and lichens that can grow on bare rock and help make soil. Secondary succession occurs in a formerly inhabited area that was disturbed.
