"enrique examines a plant species to determine whether it could be a pioneer species. Which questions should he ask about the plant? Check all that apply."

Explanation:      a     b    e    

correct

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

-Can the plant survive with few nutrients and little water?

-How large does the plant grow?

-What color is the plant?

-Does this plant have small or large leaves?

-How many offspring does this plant produce at one time?

Can the plant survive with few nutrients and little water?

Explanation:

Pioneer species are considered those species of plants which are the first to colonize the habitat in ecological succession.

They are considered the pioneer as they grow in the limited resources either on the barren lands or on the rocks. These plant species plays an important role in succession as they enrich the soil with the nutrients as they can produce acidic compounds which can degrade the rocks or them upon degradation and decomposition enrich the soil with nutrients.

Since they are the first species to colonize an area without nutrients therefore whether the species will grow in the limited nutrients and the water will be most relevant.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
