Which factors may contribute to the extinction of a species? Check all that apply. more individuals fighting over the same resources fewer individuals fighting over the same resources the loss of the environment in which an organism's needs are met the gain of an environment in which an organism's needs are met the lack of predators in an area the introduction of new predators into an area

The study of a living being is called biology.

The correct answer is A, C, and E.

Whenever the species get disappear from the earth is called extinction. There is the various way by which a species can get extinct. A few of the reasons are mentioned in the question.

More competition leads to the fighting over the same resources which leads to extinction. Habitat loss is also the main resource of extinction. Loss of area leads to the restricted place and increases more competition.

Invasive species are those species that are not from that habitat and introduced into an environment from the outside which causes the high rate of predation.

Hence, the correct answer is A, C, and D.

Explanation:

Extinction is the complete elimination or termination of a species from the environment. Many factors can result in the extinction of a species. One of them is a sudden catastrophic event like the meteor strike that eliminated the dinosaurs. Other factors include habitat loss, a higher death rate than birth rate in the population, and etcetera. There have been several extinction events in earth’s history; the Ordovician Mass Extinction, Devonian Mass Extinction, Permian Mass Extinction, Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction, and Cretaceous-Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinctions.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
