Invasive Species Practice Test

Native submerged plants may continue to decline as the invader monopolizes light and space, potentially shifting the lake toward lower biodiversity and altered food webs.

Native submerged plants will likely rebound quickly because invasive species generally increase resource availability for all producers.

Fish populations will increase because decaying mats always raise dissolved oxygen and improve habitat quality.

The aquarium plant will likely be outcompeted by native plants because non-native species are usually less tolerant of local conditions.
