Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. These areas support a wide variety of species, including microbes, plants, insects, birds, fish, and mammals. Factors such as climate, landscape, geology, and water availability determine the types of plants and animals that live in wetlands. The relationships among these organisms create complex food webs, where each species plays a role in maintaining the ecosystem.

2. [I] Wetlands are often called "biological supermarkets" because they produce large amounts of food that attract many species. [II] Dead plant material, known as "detritus," enriches the water and provides nutrients for small aquatic insects, shellfish, and fish. [III] Many animals rely on wetlands for food, water, and shelter, especially during migration and breeding. [IV]

3. The ecological role of wetlands is closely linked to their surrounding watersheds. A watershed is an area where water flows to a common outlet, such as a river or lake. Wetlands are essential for maintaining the health of watersheds as they provide shallow water, high nutrient levels, and support organisms at the base of the food web. These ecosystems are integral to many species of fish, shellfish, and insects.

4. In addition to their ecological benefits, wetlands contribute to global environmental processes. They store carbon in their plants and soil, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and helping to regulate the global climate. Wetlands are also involved in natural water, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles.

5. Humans benefit significantly from wetlands. They provide resources like fish, shellfish, timber, berries, and medicines. Wetlands also protect against floods, improve water quality, prevent shoreline erosion, and offer recreational opportunities. Far from being unimportant, wetlands provide unique environmental and human benefits.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. [I] Invasive species pose a significant threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human activities. [II] These species can include amphibians like cane toads, plants, insects, fish, fungi, bacteria, or even seeds and eggs that are not native to a specific area. [III] Not all invasive species come from other countries. [IV] For example, lake trout, native to the Great Lakes, are considered invasive in Yellowstone Lake because they compete with native cutthroat trout for habitat and resources.

2. Human activities are the primary way invasive species spread, often unintentionally. Global travel and trade allow species to move quickly across ecosystems. Ships can carry aquatic organisms in their ballast water, while smaller boats transport species on their propellers. Insects can travel in wooden shipping crates or pallets, and ornamental plants may escape into the wild and spread. Released pets, like Burmese pythons in the Everglades, can also become invasive. Additionally, climate change worsens the situation by enabling invasive plants, like kudzu, and pests, like the mountain pine beetle, to expand into new areas.

3. Invasive species harm wildlife in various ways. Without natural predators, they can reproduce quickly and dominate ecosystems. Native animals often lack defenses or cannot compete with these aggressive species, which leads to disruptions in the ecosystem and poses serious challenges for native wildlife.

4. Direct threats from invasive species include preying on native wildlife, spreading diseases, and competing for food and resources. Indirectly, invasive species disrupt ecosystems by reducing biodiversity, destroying native food sources, and altering habitats. For instance, aggressive plants like kudzu can create monocultures, replacing diverse ecosystems. Some invasive species even change soil chemistry or increase wildfire risks. Preventing the spread of invasive species is essential to protect ecosystems and maintain biodiversity.
