The accidental introduction of invasive species of plants and animals often causes severe problems in the ecosystem where they are introduced. One such
example is in Texas. The Rasberry crazy ant (Nylanderia pubens) which is thought
to have arrived in 2002 from South America. This ant species is known to attack
livestock, displace existing species, and damage electrical equipment. N pubens
consumes "honeydew," a sugary liquid substance secreted as a waste product by
aphids, which suck the sap out of plants.
Which of the following statements best explains the impact that N. pubens has
on its environment?

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
